[02:23] <[sleepy]> hello [02:23] Yo :D [02:24] <[sleepy]> heh [02:26] If a system crashes because of a program which log file should I look at? [02:26] harrisonk: messages [02:27] messages? [02:27] <[sleepy]> sup people [02:27] [sleepy]:If a system crashes because of a program which log file should I look at? [02:27] <[sleepy]> idk [02:28] harrisonk: you said a log right? [02:28] <[sleepy]> im a noob lol [02:28] i suggest messages or messages.1 [02:28] <[sleepy]> booted ubuntu yesterday lol [02:28] :D [02:28] okay [02:28] [sleepy]: lol, welcome mate :D [02:28] <[sleepy]> haha drawingduck sent me here [02:28] would that be in /var/log? [02:29] harrisonk: yep yep [02:30] looks like syslog [02:30] *looks like a syslog [02:30] if X is crashing is there a log for that? [02:34] harrisonk: hrm, maybe the Xorg.0.log [02:34] ;) === [sleepy] is now known as sleepy|away [02:49] also ~/.xsession-errors. For the record, this file usually [02:49] receives stderr from X programs which run in the background, so it is [02:49] a valuable diagnostic tool if something goes wrong. === harrisonk is now known as harrisonk_zzz [02:50] duanedesign: nice...i never looked at it this way :D [02:51] stlsaint: usually people don'tnotice it until a buggy program fills the log up with a couple GB of information [02:52] that bug might be fixed now. But their was a bug at on point were that file would not get rotated and get huge [02:53] i c === sleepy|away is now known as [sleepy] [03:44] heyllo haywire_ [03:44] zkriesse, yeah, man...whazzup? [03:45] haywire_: Just welcoming you to the channel/saying hi/wazzup [03:45] and the same to you tieinv [03:45] zkriesse, cool...i'm just lurkin... not having any problems tonite... heh heh... xubuntu behaving itself... [03:45] haywire_: Very good [03:47] I even solved my firewire problem earlier tonite with help from the forums... now controls my Sony DV cam... I'm crackin' each linux hurdle one at a time... [03:47] haywire_: i prefer the bundle method...break a bunch of stuff then fix them in budles :D [03:47] (that gets you alot of FAILS though) LOL [03:48] yeah... sounds like a tangled bundle of a/v cables ...hardy harr... [03:49] The things I just can't overcome are 3 hardware incompatibilities I have run into... [03:51] haywire_: on the plus side, you're learning loads - so do please post answers for thos following you :-) [03:51] +1 [03:51] ++ [03:52] phillw, I have one PIII with an incompatible VGA card...screwy graphics on all linux distros I've tried... [03:54] Next prob. is incompatibility to do network printing to an HP all-in-one printer I have served up on a win' machine... that feature is not supported on my model... [03:55] Finally, I would love to use the magic jack phone line interface natively in linux.... I wish they would "get off the pot" and fullfill their plans to support linux in 2010 like they say... [03:56] haywire_: google-fu is your friend, if you're running a PIII, then you may want have a look at lubuntu / xubuntu, they are pretty decent at older kit. (I use lubuntu, but xubuntu has been around a lot longer) [03:59] Now the GOOD NEWS: I am dual bootin' XP and Xubuntu 9.10 on this machine (a P4 1.7Ghz, 512 ram) running a 32" LCD monitor with its Native resolution of 1360x768 that looks better than windoze is capable of... [04:00] Also running dual drives... and starting to learn my way around linux CLI - I'm an old dos user, and have to "unlearn" most of that to make sense of linux...I am AMAZED already and in awe of the power of the linux command line... [04:03] haywire_: just be in awe of it, as you do not "are you sure " with cli on linux [04:03] *do not get* [04:03] phillw does not use aptitude (or uses -y). [04:04] Appl6: phillw runs development releases, backups are really, really important :p [04:04] phillw, I can appreciate the fact that linux doesn't nag you to death with all of the "are you sure, really, really sure?" crap.. If i tell the os to do something, I'm pretty sure I want it to do it... .heh heh.. [04:04] [y/n] is nice for dangerous operations. And most utilities that do dangerous things give you [y/n]. [04:05] Oh I have had some pretty good disasters with my aforementioned philosophy.... ;-) [04:06] haywire_: and Appl6 do take the time to read http://ubuntuforums.org/announcement.php?f=326 [04:08] If in doubt, do check. There are some times you need root privalidges, but they should be exceptions as opposed to the rule. Always double check :-) [04:08] phillw: What? I didn't give any commands. Unless you were telling me that "aptitude -y" is a dangerous command? [04:09] aptitude requires a sudo before it to work, that grants temporary root privalideges [04:10] where ever possible, use Synaptics Package Mananger and Update Manager [04:11] Yep..point taken, especially for a newbie like myself... all that power can really get you in trouble if you "aim for an oak tree".... [04:13] phillw, Thanks for the tip. I think my favorite feature in linux just may be the tab-auto complete... I don't remember anything that useful in Dos... [04:13] duanedesign: ping [04:13] poke [04:13] * phillw is and apt person, not aptitude. The differences for apt can be found at the bottom of http://forum.phillw.net/viewforum.php?f=4 (the guys helped write them) [04:14] yeah. I use apt first, and then aptitude if apt doesn't work [04:15] http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57 apllies to the ubuntu forum area also. Linux give you complete control - mess it up & you kill it [04:15] stlsaint: hello [04:16] duanedesign: it's still wierd when apt will do a job where aptitude can not & vice - versa... be much easier if they settled the differences and we had just one :p [04:17] duanedesign: how can i get dcc messages in irssi? do i need to load a script [04:19] getting late - cy'all [04:39] nhandler_: ping [04:39] aw shucks hes gone [04:39] Hello Appl6 [04:40] ah stlsaint you came to youth and then left?

[14:23] can't get my laptop with ubuntu 10.04 to recognize or use my internet connection (this is a new problem) (i have been using the system normally for about two months with no problems) [14:23] is this an appropriate place to ask questions like this? [14:50] sabqat9: sure [14:50] sabqat9: does your system pick up and wireless broadcast? [15:11] sorry for the long delay - i didn't think anyone was listening - are you still there? [15:12] before i went and fooled around with too much - i went and did a restart (several times) - finally after about the fourth restart - ubuntu is working properly again [15:59] 'lo all [16:05] Hello.
