[00:21] hey [00:21] any budy here [00:21] ??? [00:24] heeey [00:24] any one [00:28] * phillw is lurking, [00:28] !topic [00:28] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [00:29] mostafa: you just need to ask a question, we do not bite :-) [00:29] aha [00:29] okey [00:29] thnx [00:30] i have ubuntu 10.4 [00:30] and it begane to run very slowly [00:30] and i don't know why? [00:31] why? [00:31] 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] i'm not professional [00:32] every ten mints every thing stops for a mint then comes back to normal status [00:32] mostafa: http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=91 has general details and a more in depth chat about it. [00:33] thnx [00:33] stlsaint: sorry for the delay. So have you done a reinstall using a separate /boot directory? How do you do it? [00:33] what is your sepecification of computer? (RAM being the important one). It could be a simple case of processing updates. [00:42] stlsaint: yes we talked about multiboot virtualbox test. [01:07] nUboon2Age: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/ [01:07] 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] stlsaint: yeah isn't it awesome! multiboot rocks. [01:21] stlsaint: i'm curious if you'd actually done a reinstall using a separate /boot directory and how you do it? [01:32] 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 ". why is this happening and how do i fix it? I'm using Empathy as mu client. [01:33] BTW, when I use "identify ", all is well, so I'm pretty sure its a configuration issue [01:34] 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] 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] zeroseven0183, yes, I found that option and typed in my pass and am still getting the msg [01:38] nUboon2Age: i erased entire harddrive and did a manual install of ubuntu making my three seperate partitions [01:40] Verminator: it might be that the password enter in Empathy is not the same with the one you use to identify [01:41] zeroseven0183, true, trying to figure it out now [03:29] hey i have a removable hd with various partitions, MBR. however my router sees all of those an GUID partitions as well [03:29] gparted and disk utility do not see the extra partitions [03:29] buy my router does [03:30] how can i fix this? [03:31] 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] HoboSteaux: when i read you're note and then looked on wikipedia about guid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table [03:35] HoboSteaux: it made me wonder how big your hd is? [03:35] 1.5tb [03:37] i flattened the whole thing again nUboon2Age and the router sees nothing on it so well see what happens [03:37] HoboSteaux: i'm wondering if there are some inherent limits of size or ??? that you're running into. [03:38] i think there was an old guid partition table that did not get fully erased under the mbr [03:39] 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] nUboon2Age: Im flattening it again just for saftey and doin exactly that :D [03:40] HoboSteaux: makes sense to me. [03:44] yo nUboon2Age [03:44] hey zkriesse [03:44] how goes it my man [03:45] well some good, some not so good. we got the wifix v0.3 release out -- good. [03:45] kewl [03:46] nUboon2Age: noticed you drifted from wiki to bugs/dev [03:46] very cool [03:46] 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] nUboon2Age: Ouch [03:47] not fun [03:48] 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] 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] nUboon2Age: ah [03:49] nUboon2Age: well if ya wanna chat -team [03:50] nUboon2Age: making a sperate /home and a re-install is probably easier. [03:50] 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] nUboon2Age: seperate /boot, /opt, /var etc. are only normally used for servers - they are not needed for desktop systems [03:52] i mean if anyone has actually had to use the reinstall to recover after something like what happened to me phillw, zkriesse_ === zkriesse__ is now known as zkriesse_ [03:53] 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] in fact, you can make that 3 ways around it :-) [03:56] 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] phillw: are you saying that based on already having a separate /home or even without it? [04:00] you do not need a seperate /home to do any of those [04:02] 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] 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] having the second Ubuntu install at least allowed me to semi-operate in the meantime though w/o some important functions === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [04:04] if you need 3), it is not too difficult. it is covered in the psychocats area. [04:04] for sure i'm saving those links. :) [04:06] nUboon2Age: to go via 3) http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce followed by http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome [04:07] 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] 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] I'd really recommend you get a seperate /home which is covered at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [04:12] 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] could you repeat that last line please phillw? [04:19] i'm using a different chat client than normal and i think i mistakenly just cleared the history/screen. [04:19] 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] thank you phillw. ;) [04:27] nUboon2Age: you are more than welcome. === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [07:16] how do you enable accelerated composting on chrome in ubuntu? [07:30] Hi bdogg [07:30] accelerated compositing for Chrome will be implemented on Chrome 7 [07:32] but I think you can add --enable-accelerated-compositing from the shortcut of Google Chrome [08:05] 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] 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. === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [08:31] should my questions be directed to a different channel? [08:33] 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] same with the eeepc. i've never tried installing ubuntu on an eeepc, but i know people are doing it [08:37] 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] 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] dmdmdm: re partitioning - depends what you want to do and hwo much space you have to start with [08:40] and how the partitions are set up at present ... [08:44] 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] @seidos - toshiba tecra m7 not listed with ubuntu [08:46] dmdmdm, then it's a risky endeavor. [08:47] it would be either way with me installing [08:49] 60Gb for ubuntu would be more than sufficient [08:49] well, you would be the pioneer on that hardware, apparently. so, depends on how brave you are. [08:54] 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] dmdmdm: yep - this is the beginners channel - your point is? [09:00] 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] 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] hobgoblin, my point before re:beginners channel referenced seidos' bravery comment [09:01] personally I have /home within / and don't bother with the seperate home - all my data lives on other partitions [09:02] dmdmdm: aah see my previous then about trying it :) [09:02] hmmm, that is a good plan hobgoblin, does the livecd carry wacom(?) capabilities then? [09:03] hobgoblin, which other partitions, may I ask? [09:05] I have to other data partitions, one for stuff and one for media ;) [09:05] the livecd might - I've never needed to know tbh - but you can install some things while using the livecd [09:09] ahh, i wasn't aware of that, i'm liking the livecd testbed [09:09] 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] 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] dmdmdm, cool [09:16] good luck then [09:23] 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] what's the question? [09:27] 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] somethinginteres: just making sure you knew so you didn't wander of muttering to yourself :) [09:29] hobgoblin: haha duly noted. :) [09:29] :) [09:31] 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] 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] somethinginteres, yes, you can leave the /home intact when you install 10.10 [09:32] jemark: will look into it. Thanks [09:33] jemark: awesome. [09:33] somethinginteres, I have skype for example start up at boot. [09:33] somethinginteres, which chat program do you use? [09:34] 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] somethinginteres, ok, then you add empathy in the startup application, the same you do with evolution. I use pidgin for chat. [09:36] jemark: right, no worries. Thanks for that [09:37] :) === talsemgeest-away is now known as talsemgeest [10:36] * jemark is away: Away [10:36] * jemark is back (gone 00:00:27) === slidinghorn is now known as zz_slidinghorn [17:39] Hi [18:03] hey, does anyone know how to use tags in chrome dev, to enable extra features? [18:03] like in how you do in windows [20:04] Sound is not working. It usually do. How to debug and fix this? I use Kubuntu Lucid. [20:06] Fixed it: alsamixer: for some reason PCM was set to 0.
