| edakiri | Is the webmaster present? | 07:58 |
| edakiri | in ~/.Xdefaults , this looks evil. Xft.dpi: 96 . I haven't found documentation for that XResource, but is that to pretend the monitor has a DPI of 96? | 08:28 |
| Sysi | i think it's about font | 08:28 |
| edakiri | that the font be rendered as if the monitor has a DPI of 96? | 08:29 |
| Sysi | idk, change and try? | 08:29 |
| edakiri | changing had no visible immediate effect. (presuming i used xrdb correctly). perhaps it only takes effect when restarting X | 08:33 |
| edakiri | testing, xresource xft.dpi . It does set affect dpi for font rendering in some programs. My GTK programs seem to be getting DPI from some place else. XTerm also seems unaffected. | 09:22 |
| edakiri | Can FreeType not get the DPI from the X Windows server? or what is the reason for setting this resource? | 09:23 |
| well_laid_lawn | I thought .Xresources was superseeded by .Xdefaults... ? | 09:24 |
| edakiri | well_laid_lawn: the contents of .Xdefaults are still X resources. | 09:32 |
| well_laid_lawn | but if some apps have moved to the newer naming convention... | 09:33 |
| edakiri | I'm not talking about file names here except for the file in the xubuntu-defaults package | 09:34 |
| well_laid_lawn | ok you figure it out | 09:34 |
| edakiri | If this setting is to work around a bug, it would be great to track it to the bug somehow, like putting a comment above the setting with a bug #. | 09:37 |
| edakiri | Otherwise, if there is no bug and FreeType can get its information from the X Windows server, this is not something that should be set by default. | 09:39 |
| well_laid_lawn | or you missed something in your approach to it | 09:40 |

| AleX__ | Hi! | 21:33 |
| AleX_ | Ciao! Con un HDD da 20 GB devo far co-esistere Win98 e (X)Ubuntu... Che partizioni mi consigliate di fare (oltre a quella di Win98)? | 22:22 |
| Sysi_ | !it | 22:29 |
| ubottu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) | 22:29 |
| AleX_ | I'm sorry... I have an HDD (where is installed Win98) and I want to install both Windows and Xubuntu... How should I create partitions on it? | 22:36 |
| AleX_ | The HDD is 20GB | 22:36 |
| Sysi_ | at least 5GB to xubuntu, and 512mb-1gb swap | 22:37 |
| AleX_ | Win98 8 GB, should be ok? | 22:50 |
| Sysi_ | methinks | 22:50 |
| AleX_ | ? | 22:59 |
| Sysi_ | i guess so | 22:59 |
| AleX_ | Hmm... 10 GB to Win98 - 6 to Xubuntu? | 23:00 |
| AleX_ | Should I create the /home partition? | 23:00 |
| bazhang | AleX_, no idea about windows. with only 6GB for xubuntu you are really pushing it though | 23:01 |
| Sysi_ | i wouldn't, for that small space | 23:01 |
| AleX_ | Now, I'm using 2GB on Win98... | 23:01 |
| AleX_ | PC is only for Internet | 23:02 |
| bazhang | not really important | 23:02 |
| Sysi_ | bazhang: what do you need to do to get over 5GB root full? maybe if you have data also there.. | 23:02 |
| AleX_ | I don't have some files to save on this PC | 23:02 |
| KE1HA | The standard install is only about 2.5GB | 23:03 |
| bazhang | AleX_, any reason not to have all xubuntu? with a drive that small 6GB is really pushing it | 23:03 |
| Sysi_ | but yeah, 6GB isn't much | 23:03 |
| KE1HA | What you putting in there to get 6GB ? | 23:03 |
| bazhang | root and home all on 6GB? | 23:03 |
| AleX_ | My brother plays some games that are installed on Win98 | 23:03 |
| AleX_ | Yes, no? | 23:03 |
| AleX_ | :P | 23:03 |
| bazhang | that would take about a week to fill up | 23:03 |
| Sysi_ | bazhang: i have on 8gb netbook xubuntu and lots of music | 23:04 |
| KE1HA | LOL.. yeah, That's allot of space for Linux. | 23:04 |
| KE1HA | Music can eat space quick though. | 23:04 |
| AleX_ | So... 8GB Xubuntu / 6 GB Win98? | 23:04 |
| bazhang | it's tiny | 23:04 |
| Sysi_ | you said it's 20gb? | 23:04 |
| AleX_ | I don't have to save any type of document | 23:05 |
| bazhang | 18 xubuntu 2windows | 23:05 |
| Sysi_ | win98 really don't need much space | 23:05 |
| Sysi_ | but neither xubuntu :P | 23:05 |
| AleX_ | Yes, but the true space is about 16GB | 23:05 |
| bazhang | 14/2 | 23:05 |
| Sysi_ | how much RAM, btw? | 23:06 |
| KE1HA | win 98 Specs: 195 MB of free hard disk space (the required space may vary from 120 MB to 295 MB, depending on your computer's configuration and the options you choose to install) | 23:06 |
| AleX_ | 320 MB | 23:06 |
| AleX_ | :P 5 GB are ok! :) | 23:06 |
| KE1HA | 2GB is WAY more than enough. | 23:06 |
| AleX_ | Thanks KE1HA... | 23:07 |
| bazhang | 16/0 | 23:07 |
| KE1HA | been a Long time since I looked up Win98 Specs :-) | 23:07 |
| AleX_ | But, probably I will install a total of 512 MB | 23:07 |
| bazhang | run the games in a vm | 23:07 |
| Sysi_ | i'd say 4gb is tarting to be tiny for xubuntu, but more is better | 23:07 |
| Sysi_ | even all win98 stuff don't work on wine :/ | 23:08 |
| KE1HA | +1 on VM, probably the best option. | 23:08 |
| Sysi_ | but you should try those games, they propably will | 23:08 |
| AleX_ | I will do this: 5 GB Win 98 - 1 GB Swap - 10 GB Xubuntu. Is this ok? | 23:08 |
| Sysi_ | or VM | 23:08 |
| KE1HA | The /boot will be bigger than the Win98 install LOL | 23:08 |
| AleX_ | I want Win98 native :) | 23:08 |
| bazhang | AleX_, sure | 23:08 |
| AleX_ | Thanks bazhang | 23:08 |
| bazhang | no point in a separate home imo | 23:09 |
| KE1HA | bazhang, did you get the must register buiz from the freenode server ? | 23:09 |
| AleX_ | I create only two partition: / (ext4) 10 GB - linux-swap 1 GB | 23:09 |
| KE1HA | You need a /boot as well | 23:09 |
| bazhang | KE1HA, for #ubuntu? | 23:10 |
| KE1HA | Yes | 23:10 |
| AleX_ | I have to create it? | 23:10 |
| KE1HA | it thru me to the ubuntu-register channel | 23:10 |
| Sysi_ | no you don't | 23:10 |
| bazhang | no as I'm registered; that's only temporary KE1HA as the channel was under severe bot attack | 23:10 |
| AleX_ | Ok :) | 23:10 |
| KE1HA | Ahh, ok, well I registerd anyway, and got my PW in the login-manager now. | 23:11 |
| bazhang | we'll set it back soon enough | 23:11 |
| bazhang | ie back to -r | 23:11 |
| Sysi_ | AleX_: basically everything can be in one partition, but separate swap is nice | 23:11 |
| AleX_ | Swap partition is set "logical"? | 23:11 |
| KE1HA | AleX_, just a good general Practice, 3 is the norm /boot /root and /swap .. wiht your /home bing in the /root partition. | 23:12 |
| Sysi_ | iirc that's failure of automatic | 23:12 |
| AleX_ | I have to set it to "logical" not "primary", true? | 23:12 |
| KE1HA | You can set 4x Primary partitions | 23:12 |
| Sysi_ | (with msdos partition table) | 23:13 |
| AleX_ | Yes... Swap partition would be Primary? | 23:13 |
| KE1HA | Yes | 23:13 |
| Sysi_ | doesn't matter, but no need for logical partitions, keeping it simple | 23:14 |
| AleX_ | Or I can create an Extended partition with Swap partition as a logical one? | 23:14 |
| KE1HA | for /swap = Primary too | 23:14 |
| AleX_ | Ok! :) | 23:14 |
| AleX_ | Thanks! | 23:14 |
| KE1HA | keep them all simple, primary partitions | 23:14 |
| AleX_ | Do you have the D-Link DWL-G132? | 23:15 |
| KE1HA | no, I have a Cisso Router | 23:15 |
| KE1HA | Cisco | 23:15 |
| AleX_ | Yes, I know... But the DWL-G132 is a USB Wi-Fi adapter | 23:16 |
| AleX_ | I works only with ndiswrapper :( | 23:16 |
| KE1HA | I have no idea abt that | 23:16 |
| AleX_ | *It | 23:16 |
| KE1HA | here's my router: https://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10977/prod_view_selector.html | 23:16 |
| AleX_ | It's good! It works great? | 23:17 |
| KE1HA | Well It stops all this DOS ping crap dead in it's tracks, so yeah, works for me. | 23:17 |
| AleX_ | It's so big! | 23:18 |
| KE1HA | I bought it surplus | 23:18 |
| AleX_ | Has it got Print Server function? | 23:18 |
| AleX_ | So, you can share a printer through it? | 23:18 |
| KE1HA | I use a WAP for that. | 23:19 |
| Sysi_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1491279 | 23:19 |
| KE1HA | You better off wiht a Home Wireless / LAN router | 23:19 |
| TopHatSir | xubuntu is pronounced zoo-bun-too, right? | 23:19 |
| Sysi_ | CUPS supports sharing any printer connected to some linux machine | 23:19 |
| AleX_ | I bought a TP-Link print server | 23:20 |
| KE1HA | OOo-bun-too | 23:20 |
| AleX_ | I think it works with all OS | 23:20 |
| TopHatSir | then where's the x? | 23:20 |
| AleX_ | Win, Linux and Mac OS X | 23:20 |
| Sysi_ | i say ksubuntu | 23:20 |
| KE1HA | Yeah, those little Plug in printer srevers are nice. | 23:20 |
| AleX_ | eheh... How much it costs? | 23:21 |
| KE1HA | We just hung our printer on the Acess point, works fine. | 23:21 |
| AleX_ | Thanks Sysi_ for the link! :) | 23:21 |
| KE1HA | how much what cost ? | 23:21 |
| KE1HA | hey bazhang why does it say on the top of my xchat window #xubuntu-unregged whn I jsut did the registration ? | 23:24 |
| AleX_ | Your router? | 23:24 |
| KE1HA | not too much abt 400 or so. | 23:24 |
| KE1HA | where did bazhang go, he still here? | 23:25 |
| AleX_ | Hmm... It's ok if it works great :) | 23:25 |
| AleX_ | I think of NO :) | 23:25 |
| KE1HA | Well I originally got it fer another purpose, it's overkill for what Im using it for atm. | 23:26 |
| KE1HA | Anyways, we're way OT here. | 23:26 |
| AleX_ | ATM? | 23:26 |
| KE1HA | At The Moment | 23:26 |
| AleX_ | Thanks! :) | 23:26 |
| AleX_ | So... I go! Good bye! Thanks for all! | 23:27 |
