=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [02:21] I almost have my modem recognized question for all: 1. How do I edit the isp info. 2. What if I don't have a user id and password??? [02:22] I am using by the way wvdial [02:23] my modem is a usb 3G modem data card [02:35] 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] Also how do change the isp info in wvdial???? [03:21] ToStItOs: have you looked at /etc/wvdial.conf ?? Is there such a file? [03:23] I got charlie thanks now I just gotta plug my modem and do a wvdial [03:23] it* === tuvok302Lappy is now known as tuvok302 [07:58] Is the webmaster present? [08:28] 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] i think it's about font [08:29] that the font be rendered as if the monitor has a DPI of 96? [08:29] idk, change and try? [08:33] changing had no visible immediate effect. (presuming i used xrdb correctly). perhaps it only takes effect when restarting X [09:22] 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] Can FreeType not get the DPI from the X Windows server? or what is the reason for setting this resource? [09:24] I thought .Xresources was superseeded by .Xdefaults... ? [09:32] well_laid_lawn: the contents of .Xdefaults are still X resources. [09:33] but if some apps have moved to the newer naming convention... [09:34] I'm not talking about file names here except for the file in the xubuntu-defaults package [09:34] ok you figure it out [09:37] 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] 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] or you missed something in your approach to it === smlh is now known as 84XAAS3RQ [11:52] * dreamtraveler brb [12:03] hello [12:04] i have changed the res on my xubuntu laptop and now i cant see anything. how can i change the res back? [12:05] hello? :) [12:06] anyone here? [12:36] is there a command where i can see which packages i installed last?

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