[02:22] <ToStItOs> I am using by the way wvdial
[02:23] <ToStItOs> my modem is a usb 3G modem data card
[02:35] <ToStItOs> I have a usb 3g modem from my Cellular company. I am trying to use wvdial to get my modem to work. But I do not have a user id and password. Will that be a problem???
[02:35] <ToStItOs> Also how do change the isp info in wvdial????
[03:21] <charlie-tca> ToStItOs: have you looked at /etc/wvdial.conf ?? Is there such a file?
[03:23] <ToStItOs> I got charlie thanks now I just gotta plug my modem and do a wvdial
[03:23] <ToStItOs> it*
[07:58] <edakiri> Is the webmaster present?
[08:28] <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
[08:29] <edakiri> that the font be rendered as if the monitor has a DPI of 96?
[08:29] <Sysi> idk, change and try?
[08:33] <edakiri> changing had no visible immediate effect. (presuming i used xrdb correctly). perhaps it only takes effect when restarting X
[09:22] <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.
[09:23] <edakiri> Can FreeType not get the DPI from the X Windows server?  or what is the reason for setting this resource?
[09:24] <well_laid_lawn> I thought .Xresources was superseeded by .Xdefaults... ?
[09:32] <edakiri> well_laid_lawn: the contents of .Xdefaults are still X resources.
[09:33] <well_laid_lawn> but if some apps have moved to the newer naming convention...
[09:34] <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
[09:37] <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 #.
[09:39] <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.
[09:40] <well_laid_lawn> or you missed something in your approach to it

[16:08] <slow-motion> hi
[20:22] <ndeah> mistekak
[21:33] <AleX__> Hi!
[22:22] <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)?
[22:29] <Sysi_> !it
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <Sysi_> at least 5GB to xubuntu, and 512mb-1gb swap
[22:50] <AleX_> Win98 8 GB, should be ok?
[22:50] <Sysi_> methinks
[22:59] <AleX_> ?
[22:59] <Sysi_> i guess so
[23:00] <AleX_> Hmm... 10 GB to Win98 - 6 to Xubuntu?
[23:00] <AleX_> Should I create the /home partition?
[23:01] <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...
[23:02] <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
[23:03] <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
[23:04] <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?
[23:05] <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
[23:06] <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.
[23:07] <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
[23:08] <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
[23:09] <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
[23:10] <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 :)
[23:11] <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"?
[23:12] <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
[23:13] <Sysi_> (with msdos partition table)
[23:13] <AleX_> Yes... Swap partition would be Primary?
[23:13] <KE1HA> Yes
[23:14] <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
[23:15] <AleX_> Do you have the D-Link DWL-G132?
[23:15] <KE1HA> no, I have a Cisso Router
[23:15] <KE1HA> Cisco
[23:16] <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
[23:17] <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.
[23:18] <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?
[23:19] <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
[23:20] <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.
[23:21] <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 ?
[23:24] <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.
[23:25] <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 :)
[23:26] <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! :)
[23:27] <AleX_> So... I go! Good bye! Thanks for all!
[23:35] <knome> insane_umlaut, please stop nickflooding
[23:35] <insane_umlaut> sorry
[23:36] <insane_umlaut> just trying to get a nickname I can use for the rest of setup
[23:36] <knome> okay, no problem there then
[23:46] <bazhang> KE1HA, you got the registration email and then identified after confirming?
[23:47] <KE1HA> Yes, but it has that thing on the top of xchat
[23:48] <KE1HA> But my Identified, what do you mean? I put the line in the /msg {info form email}
[23:49] <bazhang> KE1HA, could we do this in #freenode ?
[23:51] <KE1HA> Sure. just got to #freenode   ?
[23:57] <jessebye> just installing xubuntu
[23:58] <jessebye> I'm wondering how much faster it is compared to Ubuntu
