| n2diy__ | I just built a test box, and used grsync to load my home directory onto the box, but some files didn't make the trip, like .bashrc? I fixed it with gftp, but why did grsync miss it? | 03:33 |

| ToStItOs | gottto: I have questions | 03:55 |
| ToStItOs | Well I think gottto has left I have a question for everyone I have a Windows Xp computer I want to install Xubuntu on a second drive in the windows computer is there a simplified way of doing this | 03:57 |
| n2diy__ | ToStItOs: Have you formatted a linux drive yet? | 03:59 |
| n2diy__ | ToStItOs: Have you formatted a linux drive yet? Tried an install? | 04:00 |
| ToStItOs | not yet I still need to get the drive first I am just wondering if I should leave the windows drive connected or disconnected while I run the install | 04:01 |
| n2diy__ | ToStItOs: Bingo, disconnect the Win drive, and have a few trial and errors with the linux drive, then tackle them together. | 04:02 |
| n2diy__ | I just built a test box, and used grsync to load my home directory onto the box, but some files didn't make the trip, like .bashrc? I fixed it with gftp, but why did grsync miss it? | 04:11 |
| ToStItOs | n2diy_ So disconnect the win box won't that make the windows drive being ignored during the install | 04:21 |
| ToStItOs | another words after I install ubuntu and set up the boot sequence won't that make the Windows drive disappear? | 04:24 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Just practice installing Ubuntu on the single Ubuntu drive, when you have confidence doing that, then try both drives together. | 04:25 |
| ToStItOs | I know how install Ubuntu on a drive but just meshing them together is going to be interesting | 04:26 |
| ToStItOs | But it may work out unplug one then installing the other then adding them together at least I hope it will | 04:27 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Ok, I haven't tried that, yet, either. But, someday soon maybe? Right now I'm working on test box #2, so maybe this will be the victim? | 04:28 |
| ToStItOs | I googled it for Jaunty and the person who wrote the article just made it sort of complicated | 04:29 |
| ToStItOs | http://25yearsofprogramming.com/blog/2009/20091021.htm | 04:29 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Fine business, that is why I would re-install Xubuntu, and let the partition manager deal with Grub. | 04:33 |
| ToStItOs | ok I wonder if I should do a manual partition | 04:34 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: yes, yes, and yes. Practice on the single Xubuntu drive first! | 04:35 |
| ToStItOs | ok so you think I should just do a normal install then try to install that drive as a slave | 04:36 |
| ToStItOs | well I guess I'll need to play withit | 04:36 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: and practice making a seperate /home partition, you'll be happy in the long run if you do. | 04:36 |
| ToStItOs | HDs can be finicky | 04:36 |
| ToStItOs | ok I'll do that | 04:37 |
| ToStItOs | and thats under the manual partition right? | 04:37 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: practice installing on the single drive, and then combine the two drives, and re-install Xubuntu, on the old Xubuntu drive, the partition manager, and grub will handle things from there. | 04:38 |
| ToStItOs | ok I'll do that | 04:39 |
| ToStItOs | So I will have to install Xubuntu again or just once? | 04:39 |
| ToStItOs | Sorry for the confusion | 04:40 |
| ToStItOs | Ok I get it now practice installing the drive with the manual partition then try both drives together ok sorry I am on the slow side | 04:46 |
| ToStItOs | I getcha now | 04:47 |
| ToStItOs | I just don't want to erase my windows drive | 04:47 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: yes, of course, unplug the Win drive, and practice on the Xubuntu drive, then try them together. | 04:50 |
| ToStItOs | Ok I getcha now I will do that one more thing, when I do put them together which one should be the first to be bootable | 04:51 |
| ToStItOs | Obviously I set the second drive as a slave right? | 04:51 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Yes, setup master and slave, which order it is doesn't matter, as far as I know. | 04:56 |
| ToStItOs | ok good deal I 'll mess with it and pray I don't erase my windows drive | 04:57 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: When you re-install Xubuntu, the manual partitioning will allow you to tell grub which drive and partion should hold the boot info. | 04:58 |
| ToStItOs | that would be the secondary drive? | 04:59 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Which ever drive you want to put it on, but I would put it on the Xubuntu drive, since it has a better chance of surviving an attack. | 05:00 |
| ToStItOs | ok will do | 05:00 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: GL | 05:01 |
| ToStItOs | Thanks my friend for your help appreciate that | 05:01 |
| n2diy_ | ToStItOs: Nada | 05:01 |
| ToStItOs | I must go to bed I have to work in the AM | 05:02 |
| ToStItOs | thanks a lot | 05:02 |
| ToStItOs | see you later | 05:02 |

| xubuntu_user | anybody here who can answer nitpicky technical questions? | 08:31 |
| Sysi | always is | 08:31 |
| xubuntu_user | lol. ok. | 08:31 |
| xubuntu_user | should i just speak it in-channel? or do i need to private a specialist? | 08:32 |
| Sysi | just here | 08:32 |
| xubuntu_user | ok. sorry, this is the first time i've had to do this - normally i figure things out on my own via trial and error. | 08:33 |
| xubuntu_user | i am using xubuntu 9.04 on an asus eeepc 1000 | 08:33 |
| xubuntu_user | i think it's 1000ha - the one that comes with XP installed. | 08:34 |
| xubuntu_user | under linux, my eeepc seems to have a problem with key repeating - often letters will type twice even though i am not holding them down | 08:34 |
| xubuntu_user | i have gone to settings > accessibility and used bounce keys, with the threshold set to minimum - which works | 08:35 |
| xubuntu_user | but after five or so minutes of inactivity, i get a message "bounce keys disabled" and the problem is back | 08:35 |
| xubuntu_user | is this a known issue? | 08:35 |
| xubuntu_user | ok that's cool. | 08:47 |

| cristian_c | Hi, | 17:20 |
| charlie-tca | !hi | 17:20 |
| cristian_c | hi guys, i'm on karmic | 17:20 |
| ubottu | Hi! Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! | 17:20 |
| cristian_c | I would use a sound theme for login screen and startup | 17:21 |
| charlie-tca | okay | 17:22 |
| cristian_c | in jaunty I used to go in System->Login screen->Accessibility | 17:22 |
| cristian_c | and choose the sounds | 17:22 |
| cristian_c | in karmic Login window doesn't exist | 17:23 |
| cristian_c | How can I do to resolve this problem? | 17:23 |
| charlie-tca | I don't think you can in karmic. Lucid will have the login screen again, and allow sounds to be turned on and off | 17:24 |
| charlie-tca | We lost that in karmic (9.10) because of all the gdm changes | 17:25 |
| cristian_c | ok | 17:25 |
| Pres-Gas | charlie-tca, does that mean this version of gdm has integrated some of the features we lost? | 17:25 |
| charlie-tca | what version? | 17:25 |
| cristian_c | thanks | 17:25 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 17:25 |
| Pres-Gas | Sorry, Lucid | 17:25 |
| charlie-tca | sort of. It means the developers were able to put some of the features back | 17:26 |
| Pres-Gas | Looks like I will have to fire up Lucid once the RC drops.... | 17:27 |
| slow-motion | hi | 17:45 |
| squisher | hm, anyone have a suggestion when ubiquity crashes? | 19:09 |
| charlie-tca | start it with debug-ubiquity as a boot parameter (you can edit boot parameters by pressing F6 then Escape at the CD boot menu | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | Then you can pull the logs and file the bug? | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | Or, from the live desktop: | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | please start the installer with 'ubiquity -d' from a terminal window, and reproduce this problem | 19:10 |
| charlie-tca | Once you've done that, please attach /var/log/syslog, /var/log/partman, and /var/log/installer/debug to the bug report. It's important that you attach all those files. | 19:11 |
| charlie-tca | Which image is crashing? | 19:11 |
| squisher | charlie-tca, thanks will do after memtest | 19:12 |
| squisher | 9.10-amd64-desktop | 19:12 |
| charlie-tca | MIght need to use the alternate image for that version | 19:13 |
| squisher | what do you mean? | 19:13 |
| squisher | oh, right, the alternate image. but why? | 19:13 |
| charlie-tca | There are two images for each version, desktop and alternate | 19:13 |
| charlie-tca | I think that image had problems with a lot of systems | 19:14 |
| squisher | Oh boy, and it got never updated? | 19:14 |
| squisher | but thanks for the note | 19:14 |
| charlie-tca | it won't after the release | 19:15 |
| squisher | ouch | 19:15 |
| squisher | so is it really worth my time then to create a bug report? | 19:15 |
| squisher | I don't mind if it's useful, but if it's a well known problem, then I'm not sure it is | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | I reported issues with hardy and they did not cut a new image, even when ubuntu got a new one | 19:15 |
| charlie-tca | It might be useful to keep the issues out of lucid | 19:16 |
| squisher | k | 19:16 |
| charlie-tca | The developers do check the existing bug reports to try to keep any old/regression issues out of the new release | 19:17 |
| Sachse_siechtum | Damn, I'm in dependency hell right now | 19:33 |
| Sachse_siechtum | can't install UCK | 19:33 |
| Sachse_siechtum | is there any way to install UCK? | 19:35 |
| charlie-tca | what is it? | 19:36 |
| Sachse_siechtum | ubuntu customization kit | 19:41 |
| Sysi | sounds like CLI to me :P | 19:41 |
| charlie-tca | Not familiar with it, at all | 19:41 |
| Sachse_siechtum | because yesterday I crashed my previous xubuntu install...and I was very unhappy how Xubuntu comes out of the box (or the live cd ;-) | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | But I wouldn't mind getting the 64bit install to actually do something with hardware drivers, nvidia | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | It keeps shutting the monitor off | 19:42 |
| Sachse_siechtum | you mean livecd customization? | 19:42 |
| Sysi | Sachse_siechtum: separate partition for /home | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | Sachse_siechtum: no, just a normal installation of lucid | 19:43 |
| Sysi | then you only need to install programs | 19:43 |
| Sachse_siechtum | I see | 19:43 |
| Sachse_siechtum | well luzid is not officially out yet. Is it stable? | 19:44 |
| Sachse_siechtum | lucid | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | sort of stable | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | at least on the 386 | 19:44 |
| Sachse_siechtum | alright | 19:44 |
| Sachse_siechtum | I gonna wait til 28th ;-) | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | beta2 pre-release testing | 19:44 |
| Sysi | many people say that ubuntu is stable two weeks after release.. | 19:45 |
| Sachse_siechtum | will I be able to get it over spm? | 19:45 |
| charlie-tca | should | 19:46 |
| Sachse_siechtum | what I was just saying.....the only things Xubuntu can do out of the box is: screen pictures, play wave files, word proccessing, some simple games...and thats about it... | 19:47 |
| charlie-tca | yeah, pretty much what is needed to use it | 19:48 |
| squisher | Sachse_siechtum, it's called a "base install" | 19:48 |
| Sachse_siechtum | ah I see | 19:48 |
| squisher | seems pretty sensible to me :) | 19:49 |
| Sachse_siechtum | thats why the liveCD just takes up a cd rom _:-) | 19:49 |
| charlie-tca | It is enough for any beginner to get started with | 19:49 |
| Sachse_siechtum | well...I was enough for me...its just....well I gonna have to take a look into this customization thing... | 19:50 |
| Sachse_siechtum | afk eating spicy chinese soup | 19:50 |
| el3ment | hey :P | 19:51 |
| squisher | Sachse_siechtum, what are you trying to achieve? I simply install the software I need after the install.... | 19:51 |
| Sachse_siechtum | I'm lazy ;-) | 19:51 |
| Sysi | it's one line to apt | 19:51 |
| Sysi | you can write .sh script :) | 19:52 |
| Sachse_siechtum | not familiar with that yet | 19:52 |
| Sysi | that's easy actually | 19:52 |
| el3ment | can i ask u something ? :) | 19:52 |
| Sachse_siechtum | is it something like a *.bat file? | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | el3ment: sure | 19:52 |
| el3ment | in wine channel no one respond i cant run games audio with wine ? | 19:53 |
| el3ment | any solution ? :) | 19:53 |
| Sysi | Sachse_siechtum: bash(commnd line) script, so yes | 19:53 |
| charlie-tca | just type in your question. If anyone knows, they will answer | 19:53 |
| Sachse_siechtum | what drivers did you choose? | 19:53 |
| el3ment | alsa | 19:53 |
| squisher | el3ment, in prinicple, yes, but in practice it depends on the game. appdb.winehq.org is the place to look | 19:53 |
| el3ment | intel_realtek | 19:53 |
| Sysi | have you tested both emulation and full to hw-thing? | 19:54 |
| Sachse_siechtum | for example in max payne 2 alsa is just scramble | 19:54 |
| el3ment | yes not sound | 19:54 |
| Sachse_siechtum | oss and esound work fine | 19:54 |
| Sachse_siechtum | ...on my machine | 19:54 |
| el3ment | i have another strange problem when start mp3 player not hear anything but when im start video player then sound works on both | 19:55 |
| el3ment | ;) | 19:55 |
| Sachse_siechtum | o_O | 19:55 |
| squisher | sounds like the video player is adjusting your mixer | 19:55 |
| el3ment | how i can fix that ? | 19:56 |
| el3ment | :) | 19:56 |
| squisher | while just running the mp3 player, go for example into alsa-mixer and make sure everything is turned up | 19:56 |
| el3ment | yea i try this but not succes | 19:57 |
| el3ment | everything is on and mp3 not work | 19:57 |
| el3ment | then starting video player and sound work again :) | 19:57 |
| squisher | hmm, not sure then | 19:57 |
| el3ment | my sound is intel realtek but im not sure what to chouse snd_intel or Snd_realtek :) | 19:58 |
| el3ment | for codec | 19:58 |
| squisher | charlie-tca, uff, with ubiquity -d it did not crash, of course (before it crashed during two attempts, and once before I event started) | 20:12 |
| charlie-tca | it is trying to start too much at once for the system, then. The "really fast startup" fails on the system | 20:13 |
| Arpad2 | hello | 20:50 |

| Sachse_siechtum | how can I limit the incoming packets on wlan0? (my wlan adapter) | 20:51 |
| Sachse_siechtum | like limit the 365 kbyte/s line to 150 for example | 20:52 |
| squisher | Sachse_siechtum, that's a firewall's job... I know shorewall can do that, but it's not the easiest one to use | 20:53 |
| Sachse_siechtum | squisher, is it line based? | 20:53 |
| squisher | you mean commandline? Yes | 20:54 |
