| duanedesign | hmm | 02:55 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: or is it skysentials? | 02:56 |

| newboon2age_ | Just wanted to say that with the help of many Beginner's Team folks here, i was finally able to solve my 'stuck on Plymouth boot screen' problem. For more, see my post here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519312 | 06:52 |
| ikt | good to hear newboon2age_ :) | 07:00 |
| newboon2age_ | ikt: wow, what an ordeal that was. | 07:00 |
| newboon2age_ | ikt: i think i may have broken my printing when i was trying to fix it, unfortunately. I had been previously amazed that printing 'just worked' (even though in my case it involved a windoze print server) and i'm not sure if it was the stock cups setup that worked so well or if it was because i'd installed ebox and ebox was handling it. | 07:03 |
| newboon2age_ | ikt: i uninstalled ebox (and other things) while i was trying to figure out what was wrong, and now my printing doesn't work. I don't have the energy to mess w/ it much right now though... | 07:04 |
| newboon2age_ | ikt: anyway i'll celebrate that with the help of lots of Beginners Team folks i got that crazy thing fixed. That was a REALLY difficult problem to troubleshoot and fix, and since i'm trying to help/persuade my gf to migrate from windoze, i didn't want to expose her to the difficulty i was going through. | 07:07 |
| ikt | that's alright | 07:08 |
| ikt | once you get an understanding of it things become a lot easier | 07:08 |
| ikt | just like windows | 07:08 |
| newboon2age_ | ikt: so I'm so happy that's over and it built up my confidence in being able to resolve tough Ubuntu problems. Now I've tackled boot problems, disk problems and wireless problems, three of the more difficult ubuntu troubleshooting areas. | 07:09 |
| duanedesign | hello there ikt | 07:09 |
| duanedesign | morning hobgoblin | 07:16 |
| hobgoblin | hi | 07:19 |

| apparatus | Has anyone here used Unigine graphic benchmark engines on Linux? If so then a little help would be appreciated. | 16:11 |
| apparatus | I just need to test if my graphics are working properly as the computer managed to crash when trying to run Heroes of Newerth. | 16:12 |
| duanedesign | hello apparatus | 16:18 |
| apparatus | Hello-hello. :p | 16:19 |
| apparatus | Perhaps someone could just suggest a graphics benchmark/test for Ubuntu that would be more intensive than glxgears? Thanks in advance. | 16:20 |
| duanedesign | apparatus: i remember a few years ago someone tried to get a wiki page started to compare graphics and create a 'quasi-standard' | 16:27 |
| duanedesign | http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348634 | 16:27 |
| apparatus | Okay, thanks, I'll see what I can achieve. | 16:29 |
| iceflatline | apparatus: you might want to check out the site www.phoronix.com. they do quite a bit of benchmarking. | 16:31 |
| duanedesign | iceflatline: good point | 16:34 |
| duanedesign | apparatus: there is a phronix test suite | 16:34 |
| kaushal | Hi | 16:43 |
| duanedesign | hi kaushal | 16:45 |
| kaushal | I am running a Ubuntu generic kernel on all the hosts running 8.04 server. is there a way to install server kernel on this host ?We have found a bug on the automated install | 16:46 |
| kaushal | Please suggest/guide | 16:46 |
| duanedesign | kaushal: you wish to reinstall the kernel on an install of Ubuntu Server? | 16:48 |
| apparatus | The Phoronix Test Suite just refuses to start. I click on it, "Starting Phoronix..." appears on the lower bar and then disappears, that's it. | 16:49 |
| zkriesse | hey hobgoblin | 17:01 |
| zkriesse | hello guerd87 | 17:01 |
| iceflatline | apparatus: I'm afraid I can't be much help. Perhaps others here may be more familiar with the suite. | 17:09 |
| apparatus | I guess I'll just download a random shooter and see if it runs since the final goal is to find out if Heroes of Newerth crashes because of my hardware not meeting the specs or because of a malfunction. | 17:15 |
| iceflatline | apparatus: let me know which one you end up using. | 17:31 |
| apparatus | Warsow was the one. | 17:32 |
| apparatus | It ran, and also..after dragging the graphic settings down on Newerth it worked..so I guess that instead of lagging at high settings it just crashed. | 17:32 |
| ibuclaw | apparatus, Sauerbraten was made for light hardware systems. =) | 17:44 |
| apparatus | You mean this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauerbraten | 17:45 |
| apparatus | : D | 17:45 |
| apparatus | Warsow ran just fine, it's Heroes of Newerth that required lower settings. | 17:46 |
| apparatus | I think I'm gonna install Warcraft 3 via wine though. | 17:46 |
| apparatus | Judged by the trailer Sauerbraten is like quake. I'll check it out tho. Thanks for mentioning it. | 17:48 |

| bobo123 | is it possible to see if small stupid things is planned to be fixed for next version of ubuntu? like that there are two different commands for safely remove an usb-memory (and only one of them works, the other one gives an error message wrongly) ? | 21:35 |
| bobo123 | in the file manager I mean | 21:36 |
| _CommandeR_ | dunno | 21:36 |
| _CommandeR_ | maybe it will be fixed before nex version eh? | 21:37 |
| holstein | bobo123: you might be interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut | 21:37 |

| drubin | bobo123: Actually links no working should be bug against nautilus. | 22:02 |
| drubin | bobo123: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ because both my links work on Lucid. so it is bug | 22:02 |
| bobo123 | links? | 22:03 |
| drubin | bobo123: both menu options; | 22:04 |
| bobo123 | aha you mena the two commands. I don't know what they is called in english though. "Koppla säkert från enhet" and "Mata ut" in the "Arkiv" menu in swedish | 22:04 |
| bobo123 | I assume the menu is called "File" in english, and they probably is "safely eject unit" and "eject" | 22:05 |
| drubin | bobo123: In english it is un mount, and safely eject | 22:06 |
| drubin | mmm but Lucid doesn't seem to have it. only karmic | 22:06 |
| bobo123 | what am I using... (I really really don't like the names becaus I canä't remember them)... lets see... Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx | 22:07 |
| bobo123 | only some usb-disks seems to have both commands? my usb-harddisk only have the 'safely' one but the normal usb-memories and the camera have both | 22:09 |
| bobo123 | and is seems to be only when I use the command frmo the 'Arkiv' (File) -menu that it itsn't working. if I use it from rightclick instead, it works. | 22:11 |
| bobo123 | btw, do "mount" mean anything (that is logical for a user that don't know the linux term) in english? | 22:13 |
| DarkNemesis | is there a way of saving account details to ubuntu one so that one can transfer all your accounts (yahoo, hotmail,gmail icq... irc... jabber.. everything) to the new machine (web book / lappy 2nd desktop) via ubuntu one? like syncing account details, and passwords if not would any one build this as it would be good and improve ubuntu | 22:34 |
| zkriesse | DarkNemesis: ah i'm sure there is an account folder for that which you could save to a usb drive | 22:38 |
| zkriesse | one sec i'll lookk | 22:39 |
| DarkNemesis | zkriesse, i mean using ubuntu one | 22:39 |
| zkriesse | DarkNemesis: oh | 22:40 |
| zkriesse | DarkNemesis: then i've no idea | 22:40 |
| zkriesse | i'm sure you could upload the info and then pull it | 22:40 |
| DarkNemesis | zkriesse, so ma and pa can do it via signing into single aign on | 22:40 |
| DarkNemesis | so it's constantly synced | 22:40 |

| * duanedesign reading scrollback | 22:55 | |
| * mohi1 makes duanedesign to find the word Ubuntu One | 22:55 | |
| duanedesign | DarkNemesis: there is a program called stipple that is working on backing up .dot files | 22:56 |
| DarkNemesis | duanedesign, possible to build it into ubuntu one? | 22:57 |
| duanedesign | DarkNemesis: you currently cant sync files in your $HOME, but you can sync folders | 22:58 |
| duanedesign | so if the info is in a directory in your home folder you can sync it | 22:58 |
| DarkNemesis | also what if you encrypt your home dir? you wouldnt be able to use these files in anouther machine | 22:59 |
| duanedesign | DarkNemesis: alot of programs are starting to use CouchDB to sync program settings across multiple computers via ubuntu one | 22:59 |
| nhandler | DarkNemesis: I think there is a way to decrypt them on another machine (depending on how they are encrypted) | 23:00 |
| * DarkNemesis would like a ma and pa solution :D single sign on is awesome for that | 23:01 | |
