| mostafa | i have ubuntu 10.4 | 00:30 |
| mostafa | and it begane to run very slowly | 00:30 |
| mostafa | and i don't know why? | 00:30 |
| mostafa | why? | 00:31 |
| phillw | mostafa: can you use one line to ask a question. One of the common things that can happen with ubuntu is after a kernel update, that should however only occur on the first re-boot. | 00:31 |

| nUboon2Age | stlsaint: sorry for the delay. So have you done a reinstall using a separate /boot directory? How do you do it? | 00:33 |
| phillw | what is your sepecification of computer? (RAM being the important one). It could be a simple case of processing updates. | 00:33 |
| nUboon2Age | stlsaint: yes we talked about multiboot virtualbox test. | 00:42 |
| stlsaint | nUboon2Age: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ | 01:07 |
| stlsaint | nUboon2Age: with that instaled on my system i am able to drag and drop iso images for testing without setting up a whole vbox vm for it | 01:07 |
| nUboon2Age | stlsaint: yeah isn't it awesome! multiboot rocks. | 01:20 |
| nUboon2Age | stlsaint: i'm curious if you'd actually done a reinstall using a separate /boot directory and how you do it? | 01:21 |
| Verminator | I have bee using freenode for a while, but only now registered, when I log on, it tells me the nick is already registered and to use "identify <password>". why is this happening and how do i fix it? I'm using Empathy as mu client. | 01:32 |
| Verminator | BTW, when I use "identify <password>", all is well, so I'm pretty sure its a configuration issue | 01:33 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hi Verminator, if there's a similar way in Empathy to save your password of your IRC account like in Pidgin, you can set it there. | 01:34 |
| HoboSteaux | hey, I have a removable hd with 3 brand new ext3 partitions and all of them are read only. does anyone know how to fix this? | 01:35 |
| Verminator | zeroseven0183, yes, I found that option and typed in my pass and am still getting the msg | 01:35 |
| stlsaint | nUboon2Age: i erased entire harddrive and did a manual install of ubuntu making my three seperate partitions | 01:38 |
| zeroseven0183 | Verminator: it might be that the password enter in Empathy is not the same with the one you use to identify <password> | 01:40 |
| Verminator | zeroseven0183, true, trying to figure it out now | 01:41 |
| HoboSteaux | hey i have a removable hd with various partitions, MBR. however my router sees all of those an GUID partitions as well | 03:29 |
| HoboSteaux | gparted and disk utility do not see the extra partitions | 03:29 |
| HoboSteaux | buy my router does | 03:29 |
| HoboSteaux | how can i fix this? | 03:30 |
| nUboon2Age | does anyone here have experience with making a separate /boot partition and then doing a reinstall using it as stlsaint was discussing earlier? | 03:31 |
| nUboon2Age | HoboSteaux: when i read you're note and then looked on wikipedia about guid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table | 03:35 |
| nUboon2Age | HoboSteaux: it made me wonder how big your hd is? | 03:35 |
| HoboSteaux | 1.5tb | 03:35 |
| HoboSteaux | i flattened the whole thing again nUboon2Age and the router sees nothing on it so well see what happens | 03:37 |
| nUboon2Age | HoboSteaux: i'm wondering if there are some inherent limits of size or ??? that you're running into. | 03:37 |
| HoboSteaux | i think there was an old guid partition table that did not get fully erased under the mbr | 03:38 |
| nUboon2Age | HoboSteaux: if gparted is capable it might be best to do the whole partitioning operation with it i'm thinking. that way theoretically there shouldn't be partitions it can't see. | 03:39 |
| HoboSteaux | nUboon2Age: Im flattening it again just for saftey and doin exactly that :D | 03:40 |
| nUboon2Age | HoboSteaux: makes sense to me. | 03:40 |
| zkriesse_ | yo nUboon2Age | 03:44 |
| nUboon2Age | hey zkriesse | 03:44 |
| zkriesse_ | how goes it my man | 03:44 |
| nUboon2Age | well some good, some not so good. we got the wifix v0.3 release out -- good. | 03:45 |
| zkriesse_ | kewl | 03:45 |
| zkriesse_ | nUboon2Age: noticed you drifted from wiki to bugs/dev | 03:46 |
| zkriesse_ | very cool | 03:46 |
| nUboon2Age | zkriesse_ i did an update (i think a week ago yesterday) that made my installation not able to boot to gnome. :( and i've been trying to solve it since. | 03:46 |
| zkriesse_ | nUboon2Age: Ouch | 03:47 |
| zkriesse_ | not fun | 03:47 |
| nUboon2Age | zkriesse_ first i was thinking of how to rescue it. then i did a second installation (which is where i'm typing from right now) then i thought rather than that | 03:48 |
| nUboon2Age | zkriesse_ i'd do a reinstall, but make separate /home directory. then i heard that a separate /boot might be a good idea too. so i'm trying to find out about why that might be a good idea and see if anyone has tried it. | 03:49 |
| zkriesse_ | nUboon2Age: ah | 03:49 |
| zkriesse_ | nUboon2Age: well if ya wanna chat -team | 03:49 |
| phillw | nUboon2Age: making a sperate /home and a re-install is probably easier. | 03:50 |
| nUboon2Age | zkriesse_ i'd like to find out if anyone has actually used a separate /boot (as well as /home) and done a reinstall phillw | 03:50 |
| phillw | nUboon2Age: seperate /boot, /opt, /var etc. are only normally used for servers - they are not needed for desktop systems | 03:51 |
| nUboon2Age | i mean if anyone has actually had to use the reinstall to recover after something like what happened to me phillw, zkriesse_ | 03:52 |
| === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ | ||
| phillw | just have a sperate /home. if you cannot boot then there are two solutions that do not even need a re-install that I would suggest 1st. | 03:53 |
| phillw | in fact, you can make that 3 ways around it :-) | 03:54 |
| phillw | 1) re-install the kernel, 2) re-install GRUB, 3) install something like kubutnu / xubuntu and remove gnome, then you can re-install gnome. | 03:56 |
| nUboon2Age | phillw: are you saying that based on already having a separate /home or even without it? | 03:58 |
| phillw | you do not need a seperate /home to do any of those | 04:00 |
| nUboon2Age | so far w/o a separate /home i tried reinstalling the kernel, and reconfigured GRUB 2, and then did a second installation of Ubuntu, and tried reinstalling ubuntu-desktop. without luck. | 04:02 |
| phillw | 1) is covered at http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=35 2) is covered at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20GRUB%202 | 04:02 |
| nUboon2Age | having the second Ubuntu install at least allowed me to semi-operate in the meantime though w/o some important functions | 04:03 |
| === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn | ||
| phillw | if you need 3), it is not too difficult. it is covered in the psychocats area. | 04:04 |
| nUboon2Age | for sure i'm saving those links. :) | 04:04 |
| phillw | nUboon2Age: to go via 3) http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce followed by http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 04:06 |
| phillw | ig your gnome still does not work, then there is something in your /home area causing it to fail. for that you'd need a gnome person to assist. | 04:07 |
| nUboon2Age | for a while now since i learned about Tomboy i use it and sync all these notes up using Ubuntu One so i don't lose them. really great help. | 04:07 |
| * phillw does not know what config files gnome stores in ~home | 04:07 | |
| phillw | I'd really recommend you get a seperate /home which is covered at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 04:11 |
| nUboon2Age | phillw: yes i've been wanting that since i learned about it. | 04:12 |
| * phillw used the psychocats version perfectly well, but aysiu now suggests people follow the community guide. the pyschocats one is at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 04:14 | |
| nUboon2Age | could you repeat that last line please phillw? | 04:17 |
| nUboon2Age | i'm using a different chat client than normal and i think i mistakenly just cleared the history/screen. | 04:19 |
| phillw | used the psychocats version perfectly well, but aysiu now suggests people follow the community guide. the pyschocats one is at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome | 04:19 |
| nUboon2Age | thank you phillw. ;) | 04:23 |
| phillw | nUboon2Age: you are more than welcome. | 04:27 |

| bdogg | how do you enable accelerated composting on chrome in ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hi bdogg | 07:30 |
| zeroseven0183 | accelerated compositing for Chrome will be implemented on Chrome 7 | 07:30 |
| zeroseven0183 | but I think you can add --enable-accelerated-compositing from the shortcut of Google Chrome | 07:32 |
| dmdmdm | hi, I've got a couple of questions (i've not used ubuntu before and have very, very limited experience with redhat many years ago) relating to 3 different requests for advice. 1. I have a toshiba tecra m7 tabletpc, does ubuntu support tablet input, or does it require lots of tinkering? ; 2. I have an asus t91 (multitouch) eepc, similar questions as found in 1 above ; 3. I have a | 08:05 |
| dmdmdm | crashed HD on dell xps m1530, was planning on installing a new, larger HD (640GB) and thinking about dual boot with vista and wanted thoughts on partition size and whether I should have a windows os partition, a data partition and the linux partitions (my experience with redhat involved a "data drive") or other partitioning scheme. Thanks for your feedback. | 08:05 |
| === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn | ||
| dmdmdm | should my questions be directed to a different channel? | 08:31 |
| seidos | dmdmdm, you can check to see if your the toshiba table pc has been used by anybody, and rated it at http://www.ubuntuhcl.org | 08:33 |
| seidos | same with the eeepc. i've never tried installing ubuntu on an eeepc, but i know people are doing it | 08:34 |
| dmdmdm | thanks seidos, i looked on a webforum re:eeepc and it seems that install requires some know-how and still isn't perfect, I will check re:toshiba | 08:37 |
| seidos | dmdmdm, as far as partition sizes...i found this website: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning. but i haven't dual booted in ages, so i'm afraid i can't make a solid recommendation. there may be users in here that do, so if you're patient, you could get a response from them perhaps. | 08:38 |
| hobgoblin | dmdmdm: re partitioning - depends what you want to do and hwo much space you have to start with | 08:40 |
| hobgoblin | and how the partitions are set up at present ... | 08:40 |
| dmdmdm | right now 640GB on fresh drive - still slave to MS so must have - mostly want ubuntu to test out/learn and be able to complement if MS fails - was thinking 60GB vista, 60GB ubuntu and remainder as a data drive accessible from either | 08:44 |
| dmdmdm | @seidos - toshiba tecra m7 not listed with ubuntu | 08:45 |
| seidos | dmdmdm, then it's a risky endeavor. | 08:46 |
| dmdmdm | it would be either way with me installing | 08:47 |
| hobgoblin | 60Gb for ubuntu would be more than sufficient | 08:49 |
| seidos | well, you would be the pioneer on that hardware, apparently. so, depends on how brave you are. | 08:49 |
| dmdmdm | ahem, this is the "beginners" channel...it just seems to me that this older computer could be fairly snappy running linux, i would just hate to lose the tablet functionality (even though it sits unused) | 08:54 |
| hobgoblin | dmdmdm: yep - this is the beginners channel - your point is? | 08:59 |
| dmdmdm | thanks hobgoblin, i was looking at the psychocats site seidos offered, it suggests windows as ntfs, /home partition as shared data as ext3, ubuntu sys as ext3 and swap - any implications as having /home partition as ext3 vs ntfs shared data since will be on windows most of the time? | 09:00 |
| hobgoblin | you can download the iso and burn and then boot with it - check the toshiba - that's what the livecd is for - if it works install it - if it doesn't check the specific bit's that don't | 09:00 |
| dmdmdm | hobgoblin, my point before re:beginners channel referenced seidos' bravery comment | 09:01 |
| hobgoblin | personally I have /home within / and don't bother with the seperate home - all my data lives on other partitions | 09:01 |
| hobgoblin | dmdmdm: aah see my previous then about trying it :) | 09:02 |
| dmdmdm | hmmm, that is a good plan hobgoblin, does the livecd carry wacom(?) capabilities then? | 09:02 |
| dmdmdm | hobgoblin, which other partitions, may I ask? | 09:03 |
| hobgoblin | I have to other data partitions, one for stuff and one for media ;) | 09:05 |
| hobgoblin | the livecd might - I've never needed to know tbh - but you can install some things while using the livecd | 09:05 |
| dmdmdm | ahh, i wasn't aware of that, i'm liking the livecd testbed | 09:09 |
| somethinginteres | hi, how can I set up Lucid so that in the Messaging Menu: Broadcast, Chat and Mail are all active on boot, like they have arrow next to them? Also how do I make sure that when closing evolution it stays active in the messaging menu? Thanks | 09:09 |
| dmdmdm | hobgoblin and seidos, thank you for your guidance, I will give the livecd a try on the toshiba tablet, skip eepc t91 for now and leave space for ubuntu on the fresh drive | 09:13 |
| seidos | dmdmdm, cool | 09:14 |
| hobgoblin | good luck then | 09:16 |
| hobgoblin | somethinginteres: you're not being ignored - look like no-one is about to answer you - I would if I could but I remove all the 'me' stuff | 09:23 |
| jemark | what's the question? | 09:25 |
| somethinginteres | hobgoblin: that's alright, I figure if people know they'll pitch in :) jemark: my question is "how can I set up Lucid so that in the Messaging Menu: Broadcast, Chat and Mail are all active on boot, like they have arrow next to them? Also how do I make sure that when closing evolution it stays active in the messaging menu? Thanks" | 09:27 |
| hobgoblin | somethinginteres: just making sure you knew so you didn't wander of muttering to yourself :) | 09:28 |
| somethinginteres | hobgoblin: haha duly noted. :) | 09:29 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 09:29 |
| somethinginteres | perhaps all ask another while I wait. I currently have my box setup so /home is on a different partition. When I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 once it comes out (from a fresh install) will the install by default just leave my /home intact and just install the OS? | 09:31 |
| jemark | somethinginteres, it's possible to startup those applications at boot. you can go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. Then add the application that you want to start at boot up. As for as I know it's not possible to leave the Evolution program open when closing. There is a third party application called "close to tray" (you can google it) that will close appliations to tray but that option is not available in Evolution itself. | 09:31 |
| jemark | somethinginteres, yes, you can leave the /home intact when you install 10.10 | 09:32 |
| somethinginteres | jemark: will look into it. Thanks | 09:32 |
| somethinginteres | jemark: awesome. | 09:33 |
| jemark | somethinginteres, I have skype for example start up at boot. | 09:33 |
| jemark | somethinginteres, which chat program do you use? | 09:33 |
| somethinginteres | I think it's 'Empathy' I want to use it for Facebook chat and Google talk it's all setup golden but I just want it to be active in the msg menu on boot | 09:34 |
| jemark | somethinginteres, ok, then you add empathy in the startup application, the same you do with evolution. I use pidgin for chat. | 09:35 |
| somethinginteres | jemark: right, no worries. Thanks for that | 09:36 |
| jemark | :) | 09:37 |
