[00:21] <mostafa> any budy here
[00:21] <mostafa> ???
[00:24] <mostafa> heeey
[00:24] <mostafa> any one

[00:29] <phillw> mostafa: you just need to ask a question, we do not bite :-)
[00:29] <mostafa> aha
[00:29] <mostafa> okey
[00:29] <mostafa> thnx
[00:30] <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?
[00:31] <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] <mostafa> i'm not professional
[00:32] <mostafa> every ten mints every thing stops for a mint then comes back to normal status
[00:32] <phillw> mostafa: http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=91 has general details and a more in depth chat about it.
[00:33] <mostafa> thnx
[00:33] <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.
[00:42] <nUboon2Age> stlsaint: yes we talked about multiboot virtualbox test.
[01:07] <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
[01:20] <nUboon2Age> stlsaint: yeah isn't it awesome! multiboot rocks.
[01:21] <nUboon2Age> stlsaint: i'm curious if you'd actually done a reinstall using a separate /boot directory and how you do it?
[01:32] <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.
[01:33] <Verminator> BTW, when I use "identify <password>", all is well, so I'm pretty sure its a configuration issue
[01:34] <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.
[01:35] <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
[01:38] <stlsaint> nUboon2Age: i erased entire harddrive and did a manual install of ubuntu making my three seperate partitions
[01:40] <zeroseven0183> Verminator: it might be that the password enter in Empathy is not the same with the one you use to identify <password>
[01:41] <Verminator> zeroseven0183, true, trying to figure it out now
[03:29] <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
[03:30] <HoboSteaux> how can i fix this?
[03:31] <nUboon2Age> does anyone here have experience with making a separate /boot partition and then doing a reinstall using it as stlsaint was discussing earlier?
[03:35] <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
[03:37] <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.
[03:38] <HoboSteaux> i think there was an old guid partition table that did not get fully erased under the mbr
[03:39] <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.
[03:40] <HoboSteaux> nUboon2Age: Im flattening it again just for saftey and doin exactly that :D
[03:40] <nUboon2Age> HoboSteaux: makes sense to me.
[03:44] <zkriesse_> yo nUboon2Age
[03:44] <nUboon2Age> hey zkriesse
[03:44] <zkriesse_> how goes it my man
[03:45] <nUboon2Age> well some good, some not so good.  we got the wifix v0.3 release out -- good.
[03:45] <zkriesse_> kewl
[03:46] <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.
[03:47] <zkriesse_> nUboon2Age: Ouch
[03:47] <zkriesse_> not fun
[03:48] <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
[03:49] <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
[03:50] <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
[03:51] <phillw> nUboon2Age: seperate /boot, /opt, /var etc. are only normally used for servers - they are not needed for desktop systems
[03:52] <nUboon2Age> i mean if anyone has actually had to use the reinstall to recover after something like what happened to me phillw, zkriesse_
[03:53] <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.
[03:54] <phillw> in fact, you can make that 3 ways around it :-)
[03:56] <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.
[03:58] <nUboon2Age> phillw: are you saying that based on already having a separate /home or even without it?
[04:00] <phillw> you do not need a seperate /home to do any of those
[04:02] <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
[04:03] <nUboon2Age> having the second Ubuntu install at least allowed me to semi-operate in the meantime though w/o some important functions
[04:04] <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. :)
[04:06] <phillw> nUboon2Age: to go via 3) http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce followed by http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[04:07] <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
[04:11] <phillw> I'd really recommend you get a seperate /home which is covered at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
[04:12] <nUboon2Age> phillw: yes i've been wanting that since i learned about it.
[04:14]  * 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
[04:17] <nUboon2Age> could you repeat that last line please phillw?
[04:19] <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
[04:23] <nUboon2Age> thank you phillw. ;)
[04:27] <phillw> nUboon2Age: you are more than welcome.
[07:16] <bdogg> how do you enable accelerated composting on chrome in ubuntu?
[07:30] <zeroseven0183> Hi bdogg
[07:30] <zeroseven0183> accelerated compositing for Chrome will be implemented on Chrome 7
[07:32] <zeroseven0183> but I think you can add --enable-accelerated-compositing from the shortcut of Google Chrome
[08:05] <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.
[08:31] <dmdmdm> should my questions be directed to a different channel?
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <seidos> same with the eeepc.  i've never tried installing ubuntu on an eeepc, but i know people are doing it
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <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.
[08:40] <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 ...
[08:44] <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
[08:45] <dmdmdm> @seidos - toshiba tecra m7 not listed with ubuntu
[08:46] <seidos> dmdmdm, then it's a risky endeavor.
[08:47] <dmdmdm> it would be either way with me installing
[08:49] <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.
[08:54] <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)
[08:59] <hobgoblin> dmdmdm: yep - this is the beginners channel - your point is?
[09:00] <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
[09:01] <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
[09:02] <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?
[09:03] <dmdmdm> hobgoblin, which other partitions, may I ask?
[09:05] <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
[09:09] <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
[09:13] <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
[09:14] <seidos> dmdmdm, cool
[09:16] <hobgoblin> good luck then
[09:23] <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
[09:25] <jemark> what's the question?
[09:27] <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"
[09:28] <hobgoblin> somethinginteres: just making sure you knew so you didn't wander of muttering to yourself :)
[09:29] <somethinginteres> hobgoblin: haha duly noted. :)
[09:29] <hobgoblin> :)
[09:31] <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.
[09:32] <jemark> somethinginteres, yes, you can leave the /home intact when you install 10.10
[09:32] <somethinginteres> jemark: will look into it. Thanks
[09:33] <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?
[09:34] <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
[09:35] <jemark> somethinginteres, ok, then you add empathy in the startup application, the same you do with evolution. I use pidgin for chat.
[09:36] <somethinginteres> jemark: right, no worries. Thanks for that
[09:37] <jemark> :)

[23:43] <aveilleux> kosaidpo: I have that problem on Opera as well. I don't think the Facebook designers test on these browsers, so if there's a compatibility problem then they break.
[23:43] <kosaidpo> uhm i gues you didnt get me
[23:43] <aveilleux> kosaidpo: If you really need Notes, then all I've been able to do is install another browser.
