[00:12] <dvanstone> later fella's
[00:19] <LK> and THAT is why I want to ditch Windows >.<
[00:43] <cafejunkie> Quick question. What does GNOME use for sound that xfce (and lxde) does not? Had GNOME, installed xfce and lxde. Sound works fine in gnome not in the other two. ALSA settings OK, finds soundcard, nothing muted, pulseaudio is started and running
[00:44] <cafejunkie> I also tried eSound insted of pulseaudo, still nothing
[00:45] <charlie-tca> You have to turn it on in Xubuntu
[00:45] <charlie-tca> gnome does it by default
[00:45] <charlie-tca> !sound
[03:14] <mustafa> hi someone can help me?
[03:16] <psycho_oreos> !ask | mustafa
[03:16] <psycho_oreos> and again you have not told us what sort of dvdr is it
[03:17] <mustafa> ok ı am new and ı use x ubuntu my dvdr not working ı tried alot but didnt worked
[03:17] <mustafa> qsi dvdr
[03:19] <psycho_oreos> I presume it cannot read any type of discs you put in?
[03:20] <mustafa> yes
[03:20] <mustafa> no answer from it
[03:20] <mustafa> no signs
[03:21] <mustafa> how can ı know wheather it is installed or nor
[03:21] <mustafa> dev cdrom is empty
[03:23] <mustafa> is there a program that ı can seee the hardware of me which is installed on xubuntu
[03:23] <psycho_oreos> try doing ls -alh /dev/cdrom
[03:23] <mustafa> ı dont know if dvdr is installed or not
[03:24] <psycho_oreos> I don't know the GUI frontend but lshw comes in handy
[03:25] <mustafa> ls: cannot access /dev/cdrom: No such file or directory
[03:25] <psycho_oreos> most likely the device is not supported/detected

[03:30] <mustafa> ı dont kno it hw can ı find it
[03:31] <psycho_oreos> you need to pastebin the output of lshw using sudo
[03:31] <mustafa> ı can look to the bios
[03:31] <psycho_oreos> there is no need to
[03:32] <mustafa> PCI
[03:32] <psycho_oreos> pci is not the model number
[03:34] <mustafa> I KNOW BUT A VERY BİG LİST I CANT FND İT

[03:39] <mustafa> can ı paste here
[03:39] <psycho_oreos> only the link, not the output
[03:39] <psycho_oreos> the link should be available in the address bar
[03:40] <mustafa> it want s an account
[03:40] <mustafa> can you wait
[03:40] <mustafa> for a while
[03:42] <psycho_oreos> no pastebin should ask for an account, the account creation is optional
[03:43] <mustafa> sory
[03:45] <mustafa> Paste from mustafa at Thu, 23 Dec 2010 03:44:45 +0100
[03:45] <mustafa> just this
[03:46] <psycho_oreos> that isn't useful, that is not a link
[03:46] <mustafa> nothing else happens
[03:46] <psycho_oreos> which website did you use?
[03:46] <mustafa> paste ubuntu . com
[03:47] <freebird> i have a freash install and during boot its saying that kernal isn't found and then finishes boot any ideals ?
[03:48] <psycho_oreos> when you hit paste, notice how the link in the address bar changes, paste the link from the address bar into the channel
[03:48] <mustafa> ok
[03:48] <mustafa> http://paste.ubuntu.com/546807/
[03:48] <mustafa> ok
[03:50] <mustafa> ı have a girl and she is upset she cant watch cartoons :D
[03:51] <freebird> is any techies online
[03:52] <psycho_oreos> the cdrom device isn't even detected via lshw, it might even be externally connected or might not be powered on due to acpi restrictions
[03:52] <psycho_oreos> freebird, which version of xubuntu?
[03:52] <mustafa> it is connected
[03:52] <freebird> psycho_oreos, 10.10
[03:53] <mustafa> acpi restrictions how can be done :D,
[03:53] <psycho_oreos> mustafa, connected how? via usb?
[03:53] <mustafa> via
[03:53] <mustafa> in the laptop
[03:53] <freebird> psycho_oreos,  ty for replying
[03:53] <psycho_oreos> freebird, weird, kernel isn't found could mean that there was something wrong with the installation
[03:53] <psycho_oreos> nw
[03:54] <freebird> knome,  hey bro
[03:54] <psycho_oreos> mustafa, well according to lshw output the dvdr device isn't detected
[03:54] <mustafa> what shall ı do
[03:54] <psycho_oreos> mustafa, try to use another laptop/computer or some external dvd drive
[03:55] <mustafa> it works in wista
[03:55] <psycho_oreos> there might be an option of disabling acpi via grub
[03:55] <freebird> psycho_oreos,  thats what i thought i redid it 3 times and it does same thing i'm mind boggled about if kernal not there it shouldn't boot
[03:55] <freebird> reformatted
[03:56] <mustafa> it works everywhere but not in xubuntu
[03:56] <mustafa> do ı have to buy onother dvdr
[03:56] <psycho_oreos> freebird, well, if grub is installed, you get grub bootloader that's standard process, but for kernel to go missing could either mean it wasn't installed properly or somehow grub got the wrong config line for kernel
[03:56] <psycho_oreos> mustafa, you could try disabling acpi to see if it helps
[03:56] <mustafa> how can ı disable it
[03:57] <psycho_oreos> you need to edit the grub.cfg file iirc and append noacpi into kernel line
[03:57] <mustafa> ok
[03:57] <freebird> ok i'll google how to do that
[03:57] <mustafa> can you write this
[03:57] <mustafa> in terminal
[03:57] <freebird> psycho_oreos,  ty
[03:58] <mustafa> massage
[03:58] <psycho_oreos> freebird, nw
[03:58] <mustafa> sudo gedit grup.cfg iüs ok :D
[03:59] <psycho_oreos> its not grup.cfg
[03:59] <psycho_oreos> and it sits in a different location: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[04:00] <mustafa> can you write it to me
[04:02] <psycho_oreos> ...
[04:04] <mustafa> ı cant find
[04:05] <mustafa> sudo gedit iirc
[04:05] <mustafa> what shall ı write
[04:07] <mustafa> are you ther
[04:09] <mustafa> its closed in bios?
[04:11] <mustafa> ı will re boot to close it in bios
[04:11] <psycho_oreos> its got nothing to do with bios
[04:11] <mustafa> on the net it says so
[04:12] <mustafa> what do ı have to do
[04:13] <psycho_oreos> give the online suggestion a try into disabling acpi via bios and if that doesn't work, disable it via linux kernel
[04:14] <mustafa> thanks
[04:14] <mustafa> but
[04:14] <mustafa> ı cant disable it
[04:14] <mustafa> ım new
[04:15] <mustafa> pls write the terminal words for it
[04:15] <psycho_oreos> saying that you're new isn't going to get you anywhere, what I would do is to start reading the link I posted before in regards to grub2
[04:16] <psycho_oreos> or if you want a fuss free way, get an external dvd drive
[04:16] <mustafa> ı readed it but it is very complicated
[04:17] <mustafa> ı think you wont help me any more
[04:17] <mustafa> thanks for your help good night
[05:34] <saintly> hello all
[06:40] <cinmoon> the 248GB NTFS partition my raw disk image only has about 20GB used, but gparted is only letting me shave off 10MB. I'd like it down to 100GB.
[07:34] <xubuntu112> hi all
[08:47] <Sysi> cinmoon: it's propably fragmented
[11:44] <MorphixNW> can anyone recommend a good distribution thing, that I can dedicate usage of a computer too?
[11:44] <MorphixNW> the ones where they use the idle time to work on new stuff
[11:46] <well_laid_lawn> something like folding@home ?
[11:48] <MorphixNW> not following you bud
[11:48] <Sysi> boinc?
[11:48] <MorphixNW> yes
[11:49] <Sysi> just pick one
[11:49] <Sysi> renderfarm or something
[11:49] <MorphixNW> there are so many, I want it to be a good cause :)
[11:50] <Sysi> "good" is dependant on you
[11:50] <MorphixNW> not really lol
[11:50] <Sysi> it is
[11:50] <MorphixNW> but yeah, but you know what I mean
[11:51] <Sysi> xubuntu is low-spwc thing, we don't know how to led extra we don't have :P
[11:51] <MorphixNW> is there no xubuntu thing I can dedicate it too?
[12:00] <well_laid_lawn> a list of boinc projects - http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php
[12:47] <Ycarene> I'm trying to install xubuntu on a machine, it boots to the cd and presents me with a menu, I can navigate it, but nothing happens when I press enter, enter works in other parts of the menu like language selection though.
[12:54] <MorphixNW> what socket type would a P4 Dual Core be?
[12:57] <Sysi> pentium 4 dualcore? WTF
[12:58] <well_laid_lawn> that's the pentium D iirc so it is socket 775
[13:01] <MorphixNW> ty
[13:01] <MorphixNW> 775 is right :)
[13:02] <MorphixNW> is it possible to get a 775 board that will take DDR3?
[13:02] <well_laid_lawn> I doubt it
[13:05] <Sysi> Ycarene: for how long? have you tried couple times and and checked the cd
[13:06] <Ycarene> Yeah, the cd works fine of a different machine.
[13:06] <Ycarene> I'm trying to set up a "new" machine that I've acquired.
[13:06] <Ycarene> It's probably the computer, but I wanted to see if there was a known issue first before scrapping the project.
[13:07] <well_laid_lawn> checked it using a different live cd?
[13:07] <Ycarene> I could try an arch linux cd I have laying around, one sec.
[13:08] <well_laid_lawn> woot Archlinux :)
[13:56] <MorphixNW> will xubuntu 10.10 run well on: AMD Barton 2500+ and 1.25GB DDR RAM?
[13:56] <MorphixNW> better or worse than: Intel C700 1.6Ghz and 1GB DDR2 RAM?
[14:00] <MorphixNW> is there any bench marking software out there?
[14:00] <well_laid_lawn> my guess is it would be better
[14:01] <charlie-tca> should run well on either one of those
[14:02] <MorphixNW> I am currently running on the later spec'd so
[14:02] <MorphixNW> but I have the parts for the first spec'd just laying around
[14:03] <MorphixNW> but its the AMD vs INTEL question and the difference not only in the amount of RAM but the different types of RAM also
[14:05] <MorphixNW> I want to do something really crazy lol, I have too much time and too many parts just laying idle, I need a project that is just whacky :)
[14:06] <Sysi> gentoo
[14:06] <MorphixNW> gentoo? I heard the name but thats about it
[14:06] <MorphixNW> !gentoo
[14:07] <Sysi> they have great installation manual, tens of pages. Already sorry for offtopic
[14:12] <MorphixNW> offtopic a tad, but its dead in here.... still sitting waiting a question :)
[14:21] <MorphixNW> Sysi: how would gentoo be a crazy project?
[14:22] <Sysi> see that installation manual
[14:44] <knome> MorphixNW, start working with xfce :P
[14:46] <Sysi> WoW :D (wouldn't run on that)
[14:46] <charlie-tca> :-)
[15:09] <MorphixNW> I have been googling without much success.... I am looking for a good guide to help me install ubuntu from usb
[15:09] <Sysi> menu -> system → create starup disk
[15:09] <Sysi> *startup
[15:11] <MorphixNW> awesome thats what I wanted to hear
[15:11] <MorphixNW> hmmm only I dont have that option in System
[15:12] <MorphixNW> sorry, yes I do its just called something slightly different
[15:12] <MorphixNW> "Startup Disk Creator"
[15:13] <charlie-tca> There is also http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/ubuntu-from-your-flash-drive-easier-than-ever-before/
[15:14] <MorphixNW> charlie-tca: perfect thank you
[15:26] <ShootEmUp> hello
[15:26] <MorphixNW> hey ShootEmUp
[15:26] <ShootEmUp> whats up?
[15:26] <MorphixNW> not much
[15:26] <MorphixNW> working on another ubuntu machine
[15:27] <ShootEmUp> Cool, whatcha going to do to it?
[15:27] <MorphixNW> I have an old HP Compaq IPAQ Desktop
[15:27] <ShootEmUp> specs?
[15:27] <MorphixNW> PIII 1000Mhz and 512MB SDRAM
[15:28] <ShootEmUp> yup, right on the borderline between ubuntu & xubuntu
[15:28] <MorphixNW> it had a Celeron 700 in it earlier, but I got tons of parts so I beefed it up some
[15:28] <ShootEmUp> you could go either way with no problems
[15:28] <MorphixNW> well I am heading for Xubuntu-Alternative-10.10
[15:29] <ShootEmUp> good idea
[15:29] <MorphixNW> :)
[15:29] <ShootEmUp> what kind of internet? wireless or wired>
[15:29] <MorphixNW> wired
[15:29] <MorphixNW> so should be a breeze
[15:30] <MorphixNW> onboard NIC, Video and Sound
[15:30] <ShootEmUp> yup, only thing is video card. should work but they do have issues sometimes
[15:30] <ShootEmUp> scrach that
[15:30] <MorphixNW> if this "startup disk creator" turns out as easy as it should, well, I got lots more machine to bring back to life
[15:31] <ShootEmUp> you installing via USB drive?
[15:31] <MorphixNW> yes, no CDROM
[15:32] <MorphixNW> problems with that method?
[15:32] <ShootEmUp> Okay, just make sure it can, My can but you have to go to the boot selector to do it
[15:32] <MorphixNW> hmm good point
[15:32] <MorphixNW> havent checked that yet
[15:32] <ShootEmUp> Does it have a floppy drive?
[15:33] <MorphixNW> nope, once upon a time it had a CDROM, but it was none standard (laptop drive) so the connector is not IDE
[15:33] <dr4c4n> usb?
[15:34] <MorphixNW> yes
[15:34] <dr4c4n> put the distro on a usb key and boot :D
[15:34] <ShootEmUp> What OS is on it right now?
[15:34] <dr4c4n> ah.. someone else pointed that out above me, my bad
[15:34] <MorphixNW> none
[15:35] <MorphixNW> currently no OS
[15:35] <ShootEmUp> yeah some BIOSs can't boot from USB
[15:35] <MorphixNW> I got a four screen setup, but currently only one working :)
[15:35] <ShootEmUp> depends really
[15:35] <MorphixNW> I want them all to do something
[15:36] <ShootEmUp> 4 screens!?! what are you going to do with 4 screens
[15:36] <dr4c4n> MorphixNW: collaborative or individual something(s)
[15:36] <MorphixNW> yes it can boot from usb device
[15:36] <ShootEmUp> sweet, your good to go
[15:36] <MorphixNW> dr4c4n: not decided yet
[15:36] <MorphixNW> I have the hardware for either
[15:36] <dr4c4n> sweet, did u get that pos touchscreen working?
[15:37] <MorphixNW> nope
[15:37] <dr4c4n> how many toys u got ;) lol.. just kidding
[15:37] <MorphixNW> would really love that working as it would cut down the amount of mice/kbs
[15:37] <dr4c4n> I think it's great you are setting them all up
[15:37] <MorphixNW> I got way too much stuff mate
[15:37] <ShootEmUp> me to
[15:37] <MorphixNW> I cant bin working parts so :)
[15:38] <dr4c4n> shall I post my mail drop?? parts are welcome ;)
[15:38] <MorphixNW> I will turn one into a SmoothWall
[15:38] <dr4c4n> smoothwall?
[15:38] <ShootEmUp> ??
[15:38] <MorphixNW> dedicated firewall
[15:38] <MorphixNW> www.smoothwall.org
[15:38] <ShootEmUp> Ahh
[15:38] <dr4c4n> sweet thx 4 the link
[15:38] <MorphixNW> anytime
[15:38] <MorphixNW> and I think possibly a FreeNAS box too
[15:39] <MorphixNW> and maybe even a FreePBX
[15:39] <dr4c4n> woot.. connected and well boxed
[15:39] <MorphixNW> maybe I could run a free opensource VOIP service :P
[15:39] <MorphixNW> people ask me why I do all this and have so much stuff, my answer is always "WHY NOT?" :P
[15:40] <ShootEmUp> exactly
[15:40] <dr4c4n> precisely
[15:40] <MorphixNW> what you guys think of a ubuntu voip service of some kind? is that even possible?
[15:40] <ShootEmUp> yeah
[15:40] <dr4c4n> sip?
[15:41] <ShootEmUp> he could host a TS3 server
[15:41] <MorphixNW> would there be a call/need for such a thing
[15:41] <MorphixNW> sip maybe yeah
[15:41] <MorphixNW> would be nice to host something useful and used by others, could even turn into a project of its own
[15:41] <dr4c4n> sounds kewl
[15:42] <ShootEmUp> sound awesome
[15:42] <MorphixNW> I have the drive to do this stuff, but my knowledge of ubuntu is all new and not very deep yet lol
[15:42] <MorphixNW> I have the time and resources
[15:43] <ShootEmUp> thats what these IRCs are for
[15:43] <ShootEmUp> To help peoples knowlage
[15:43] <MorphixNW> :)

[15:52] <MorphixNW> new ground is always good
[15:52] <ShootEmUp> true
[15:52] <MorphixNW> otherwise we would all be using Bindows lol
[15:53] <ShootEmUp> ain't that the truth
[15:53] <MorphixNW> anyone know when 11.04 will be release?
[15:53] <ShootEmUp> apirl 2011
[15:53] <MorphixNW> sounds good
[15:53] <MorphixNW> is it possible to upgrade without a reinstall?
[15:53] <ShootEmUp> yes
[15:54] <MorphixNW> dangerous or?
[15:54] <ShootEmUp> warrning!! it can break your ubuntu
[15:54] <ShootEmUp> cause errors
[15:54] <Sysi> it *should* not
[15:54] <ShootEmUp> not destroy any thing, but screw up your system
[15:55] <Sysi> but yes, it can
[15:55] <ShootEmUp> what he said
[15:55] <MorphixNW> lol
[15:55] <MorphixNW> hmmm
[15:56] <MorphixNW> good backup util?
[15:56] <ShootEmUp> "The Ubuntu 11.04 is the 14th release of Â Ubuntu. Natty Narwhal shall be released on 28 th April, the coming year 2011."
[15:56] <ShootEmUp> found it finaly
[15:56] <ShootEmUp> http://tipsneeded.com/ubuntu-11-04-release-date/
[15:57] <MorphixNW> anyone know of a decent backup utility?
[15:57] <Sysi> cp -a
[15:57] <Sysi> rsync
[15:57] <ShootEmUp> QtDSync for GUI people
[15:58] <ShootEmUp> backup to internet? or to differant hard disk?
[15:58] <Sysi> Qt sounds kde-program
[15:58] <MorphixNW> thanks guys
[15:58] <ShootEmUp> IDK if its in the repos
[15:59] <ShootEmUp> Its not, so try something else first
[16:00] <ShootEmUp> !info gtkrsync
[16:02] <ShootEmUp> rsync is the best backup tool
[16:02] <ShootEmUp> but is command line
[16:02] <Sysi> it doesn't mean hard
[16:03] <MorphixNW> anyone got a board with lots RAM slots? DDR
[16:04] <MorphixNW> i got a whole stack of 128MB DDR strips
[16:05] <ShootEmUp> nope
[16:05] <charlie-tca> I already have too many
[16:06] <MorphixNW> lol me too
[16:06] <ShootEmUp> I tell you what you should do with your spare computer parts, build a File/Printer server for your house
[16:07] <ShootEmUp> file and printer share across your house
[16:07] <MorphixNW> I got one of those
[16:07] <ShootEmUp> ok
[16:07] <MorphixNW> ;)
[16:07] <ShootEmUp> :-(
[16:07] <MorphixNW> next is a firewall
[16:07] <MorphixNW> maybe a freenas
[16:08] <MorphixNW> I have a Compaq Proliant PL800 (true server) that is not in use, I think that will be the freenas as I have a Compaq Drive Array as well
[16:11] <MorphixNW> hmmm this machine isnt likking the idea of a usb boot
[16:11] <oCatacoo> Morphix what is up?
[16:12] <oCatacoo> Morphix why would the machine likk
[16:13] <ShootEmUp> Not booting?
[16:13] <MorphixNW> nope
[16:13] <MorphixNW> ignoring it
[16:13] <ShootEmUp> you set it up right?
[16:14] <oCatacoo> what is the machine spec
[16:14] <ShootEmUp> you know how to get into your BIOS settings?
[16:14] <MorphixNW> clearly not lol
[16:14] <MorphixNW> I can bring up the boot menu
[16:14] <MorphixNW> and choose usb
[16:14] <MorphixNW> but nothing after that
[16:15] <oCatacoo> what machine spec
[16:15] <MorphixNW> PIII 1Ghz, 512MB
[16:15] <ShootEmUp> I guess you should try UNetBootIn
[16:15] <oCatacoo> bios
[16:16] <MorphixNW> ?
[16:16] <oCatacoo> ?io
[16:16] <ShootEmUp> do you have a windows computer?
[16:16] <ShootEmUp> !info unetbootin
[16:17] <ShootEmUp> ohh didn't it was for linux to
[16:17] <charlie-tca> um, yes, we don't recommend anything be done through windows, if we can help it.
[16:18] <ShootEmUp> if you are using the alternate install CD to make the USB, you might have problems because of that
[16:18] <MorphixNW> how so?
[16:18] <ShootEmUp> Live CDs work better
[16:18] <Sysi> alternate disks work differently
[16:18] <oCatacoo> sticks are more versitile
[16:19] <ShootEmUp> atleast with UNetbootin
[16:19] <Sysi> they do the installation in a bit different way
[16:19] <ShootEmUp> exactly
[16:20] <MorphixNW> great so now I have to download another big file
[16:21] <oCatacoo> Morphix what are you downloading it on a phone?
[16:22] <MorphixNW> not all all no. broadband
[16:22] <oCatacoo> low disc space?
[16:24] <MorphixNW> nope, just that I have only just downloaded the alternate install
[16:24] <MorphixNW> more of pain rather than a problem
[16:24] <oCatacoo> well that happens
[16:24] <MorphixNW> ok download is done
[16:24] <ShootEmUp> sorry, should hve told you it might not work.
[16:25] <MorphixNW> dont stress :)
[16:25] <ShootEmUp> I didn't think of it
[16:25] <MorphixNW> now back to the "startup disk creator"
[16:25] <ShootEmUp> yup
[16:25] <ShootEmUp> should work now
[16:25] <MorphixNW> learnt how not too do it if nothing else hahahaha
[16:25] <MorphixNW> :)
[16:26] <jeward> Is there an easy way to list th proprietary drivers installed?
[16:26] <oCatacoo> net installs are fairly simplified these days
[16:27] <MorphixNW> does anyone know if ubuntu would care if I told devede to work on a file that is on another machines hdd? so long as it could see it and has permissions etc
[16:27] <ShootEmUp> maybe, depends if its a ext* drive
[16:27] <MorphixNW> would be the same on both machines
[16:27] <MorphixNW> ext2 probably
[16:28] <ShootEmUp> ok, you shouldn't have a problem
[16:28] <oCatacoo> wahwah ext2
[16:28] <charlie-tca> jeward: since they are now mostly in the kernel, no
[16:28] <MorphixNW> I want one machine to do one task and drop the completed file onto another machine, that machine then works on it and drops the completed file onto a third machine, the third would then complete the job
[16:29] <MorphixNW> so that one machine doesnt have to do all three jobs
[16:29] <ShootEmUp> you could probably write a script for that
[16:30] <MorphixNW> hmmmm
[16:30] <ShootEmUp> but thats out of my field
[16:30] <oCatacoo> Morhix would 1 be a serv and the 2nd a client
[16:30] <MorphixNW> would be nice to make it work like a production line that is somewhat automated, but its not my field either
[16:32] <ShootEmUp> you could make a script that waits for a file to be made, then preforms actions, then sends it to the next computer
[16:32] <MorphixNW> hmmm
[16:32] <MorphixNW> ShootEmUp: you in #xubuntu-offtopic?
[16:40] <MorphixNW> anyone had an success with a USB to VGA adapter on ubuntu?
[16:40] <ShootEmUp> nope
[16:41] <charlie-tca> they have such a thing?
[16:42] <ShootEmUp> I've herd of USB monitors, but not USB toVGA adaptors
[16:43] <Morphix> arhhhh i got disconnected, but why does my username still up?
[16:43] <Sysi> ping timelimit
[16:43] <TheSheep> Morphix: that's called a ghost, freenode.net has a section on that in the faq
[16:44] <ShootEmUp> ask charlie-tca to kick your old name
[16:44] <TheSheep> Morphix: basically the server doesn't know yet that you disconnected
[16:44] <Morphix> oh ok
[16:45] <TheSheep> and now he left XD
[16:46] <ShootEmUp> YAY!
[16:46] <MorphixNW> woot
[16:46] <MorphixNW> man this format operation is taking its sweet merry time
[16:49] <ShootEmUp> they do
[16:49] <ShootEmUp> what you using to do it with? gparted?
[16:50] <MorphixNW> yeah
[16:53] <ShootEmUp> what % is it at?
[16:54] <MorphixNW> doesnt say
[16:54] <ShootEmUp> oh ok
[16:54] <MorphixNW> just operation 0 of 1 completed
[16:55] <charlie-tca> My 400GB drives take a very long time to run that, too
[16:56] <MorphixNW> wow hope I never have to format my 1TB then
[16:56] <MorphixNW> its just completed so :)
[16:56]  * charlie-tca defines very long in more than minutes, too
[16:56] <ShootEmUp> that took awile
[16:58] <ShootEmUp> you gonna install now?
[16:58] <MorphixNW> well now the startup disk creator doesnt like the drive
[16:59] <MorphixNW> gonna grab another one
[16:59] <oCatacoo> MorphixNW what tool are / did you use to form at
[17:00] <ShootEmUp> he used gparted
[17:00] <nirazio> In GNOME, I know you can do this by right-clicking the panel, clicking properties, then going to the Background tab and selecting "Solid Color" and then full transparency.  But in Xubuntu, there's no option for this. How would I achieve the same effect on Xubuntu?
[17:01] <oCatacoo> Shoot Em is that compatable with all drives
[17:02] <charlie-tca> nirazio: changing the theme file itself. There is no option for that
[17:02] <ShootEmUp> Its not good with RAIDs or Dynamic drives
[17:02] <TheSheep> charlie-tca: does it even work?
[17:02] <TheSheep> charlie-tca: last time I checked, the plugins had its own background
[17:03] <charlie-tca> As far as I know, by re-writing the gtk theme, yes
[17:03] <ShootEmUp> oCatacoo, if you don't know what they are odds are you are not using them
[17:03] <TheSheep> charlie-tca: theme or theme engine?
[17:03] <charlie-tca> theme itself
[17:03] <oCatacoo> odd are off
[17:03] <charlie-tca> for the panel, not the plugins
[17:03] <TheSheep> charlie-tca: if theme, then you don't need to rewrite it, you just add the lines to .gtkrc-2.0
[17:03] <charlie-tca> maybe, I don't know
[17:04] <TheSheep> let me try
[17:05] <charlie-tca> You could also do it with window Manager Tweaks, compositor, couldn't you?
[17:05] <MorphixNW> how do I install gnome task manager? someone told me a few days ago, but I forget the name
[17:05] <TheSheep> charlie-tca: no, that will make the whole panel transparent, with icons and all
[17:06] <oCatacoo> Shoot Em I got a 64mb drive that weighs close to 60# wonder if gnome partition editor can help
[17:06] <ShootEmUp> 64MB, or 64GB
[17:06] <ShootEmUp> ?
[17:07] <MorphixNW> hmm it seems that this thing has made a mess of my external drives
[17:08] <ShootEmUp> !info gnome-task-manager
[17:09] <oCatacoo> Shoot Em 64Mb
[17:09] <ShootEmUp> gparted should work just fine
[17:09] <charlie-tca> MorphixNW: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-monitor
[17:10] <ShootEmUp> !info gnome-system-monitor
[17:10] <oCatacoo> I will try later when I am boared
[17:10] <MorphixNW> thank Charlie-tca
[17:12] <oCatacoo> gotta jet
[17:13] <oCatacoo> C Ya
[17:13] <MorphixNW> for some reason my system is now failing to mount drives
[17:13] <ShootEmUp> ttyl
[17:13] <MorphixNW> saying volumes are locked
[17:13] <ShootEmUp> are they mounted?
[17:13] <MorphixNW> yes I can see the icon
[17:13] <ShootEmUp> unmount them
[17:14] <MorphixNW> hmm not mounted even though I can see the icon
[17:14] <MorphixNW> I have mount option
[17:14] <ShootEmUp> in gparted, right click on the drive you want to edit. then select unmount
[17:18] <ShootEmUp> MorphixNW, did it work?
[17:18] <MorphixNW> hang on.... gparted not loading lol
[17:18] <ShootEmUp> ohh ok
[17:22] <MorphixNW> ok its working now
[17:22] <MorphixNW> I cant unmount, its not mounted
[17:23] <ShootEmUp> ok
[17:23] <ShootEmUp> I gotta go now
[17:23] <MorphixNW> ok chow
[17:23] <ShootEmUp> ttyl everyone
[17:33] <robertzaccour> in xfce i have mic static problems, don't have this issue in gnome. any ideas?
[17:36] <robertzaccour> in xfce i have mic static problems, don't have this issue in gnome. any ideas?
[17:40] <charlie-tca> !patience | robertzaccour
[17:41] <robertzaccour> charlie-tca, i saw that jk_ entered after i asked the first time. maybe he could help? just a thought. no need to go all infobot columed on me haha
[17:41] <charlie-tca> no need to ask for each person entering either
[17:42] <robertzaccour> charlie-tca, i can see i'm interrupting very congested chat conversation. right...
[17:43] <MorphixNW> only thing I could suggest is that the two use different drivers
[17:44] <robertzaccour> MorphixNW, thanks. i thought that might be it. i'm gonna try a couple more things, might revert back to gnome i dunno
[17:45] <MorphixNW> could try simply changing the sound system maybe?
[17:47] <robertzaccour> MorphixNW, yeah, about to try pulseaudio
[17:47] <MorphixNW> hmmm that is resource hungry
[17:49] <MorphixNW> oss or alsa maybe
[17:50] <MorphixNW> I am gonna go eat ttyl
[17:51] <robertzaccour> MorphixNW, pulseaudio only had master in the volume selection, guess that wouldn't be it
[17:51] <robertzaccour> oh well
[17:51] <robertzaccour> ok later MorphixNW have fun be good :)
[18:10] <MorphixNW> hey
[18:10] <MorphixNW> I am having real trouble with "Startup Disk Creator"
[18:26] <MorphixNW> I trying to use "startup disk creator" however, I keep getting error when selecting the drive to use "org.freedesktop.UDisks,Error.Inhibited: Deamon is inhibited"
[18:27] <MorphixNW> apparently that means that the disk needs to be aurthurised, how on earth do I do that?
[18:49] <MorphixNW> Yeah that is what the error means, why cant it just say that tho?
[18:50] <MorphixNW> also it would be good for guides to warn about encrypted systems, that drives need to be connected before the passphase is entered
[18:50] <MorphixNW> I had no idea that this was the case, but only by chance did I think to try it
[18:51] <charlie-tca> and how would it know to decrypt that drive if it is not there when authorizing it/
[18:51] <charlie-tca> ? ;-)
[18:52] <MorphixNW> well it knew it was protected. it could of stated that than a load of bumf that means nothing
[18:52] <MorphixNW> if it can tell me that msg "org.freedesktop.UDisks,Error.Inhibited: Deamon is inhibited"" I would expect a better output to be shown to the user
[18:54] <MorphixNW> I think these are probably the reason why more less knowledgable users wont ever convert
[18:54] <MorphixNW> because you need to be an expert to even think about sorting even the most basic of problems
[18:55] <MorphixNW> hate to say it, but it is more clearly now why MS have cornered the global
[18:55] <MorphixNW> the interface is light years ahead of the rest
[18:55] <MorphixNW> excluding maybe OS X >
[18:57] <well_laid_lawn> you could ask for the money you spent on xubuntu to be refunded if you want...
[18:57] <MorphixNW> lmfao
[18:57] <MorphixNW> I love it I really do, but its a pain in the behind
[18:58] <MorphixNW> I cant imagine how a regular user like my mum would cope
[18:58] <MorphixNW> I think there are some "in your face" things that need to be looked at IMHO
[18:59] <MorphixNW> I know it works if you know how, but what about when you dont?
[18:59] <MorphixNW> needs to be more intuitive
[18:59] <MorphixNW> and defo needs to throw out better error messages
[19:00] <MorphixNW> I mean I spent 2hrs+ trying to create a startup disk, when it needed to tell me was "I cant access the drive you muppet" and I would of fixed it in seconds
[19:01] <charlie-tca> Are you saying Microsoft now tells you when the missing encrypted drive is not plugged in?
[19:01] <Psilocybin_Elf> Most newbie users introduced to Xubuntu say it's easier to use than Windows.
[19:01] <MorphixNW> the external drive is not encrypted, but my system is
[19:02] <charlie-tca> Most new users are not unplugging their drives, either
[19:02] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[19:02] <MorphixNW> so yeah I expect it to say something like "I cannot access that drive" "access denied" anything other then something silly like ""org.freedesktop.UDisks,Error.Inhibited: Deamon is inhibited"
[19:02] <MorphixNW> so most users never unplug and external drive do they not?
[19:02] <MorphixNW> silly thing to say
[19:02] <charlie-tca> "new users"
[19:03] <MorphixNW> new users are will push things forward
[19:03] <MorphixNW> making it more attractive to them is what its all about
[19:03] <Psilocybin_Elf> ^^ I have had a similar problem with my external hard drive recently displaying the same message
[19:03] <MorphixNW> not making it a boffs only clu
[19:03] <charlie-tca> well, I am going for a walk. rant in offtopic is better
[19:03] <MorphixNW> club*
[19:03] <Psilocybin_Elf> This has only been happing since i moved house and set up my desktop box again
[19:04] <Psilocybin_Elf> i assumed it some hard drive fault??!
[19:04] <MorphixNW> there you go
[19:04] <MorphixNW> so wouldnt it be nice for the system to tell us something we can actually work with?
[19:04] <MorphixNW> without being a boff for the passed 5yrs or more just to be able to setup an external hard drive
[19:05] <Psilocybin_Elf> thou my hard drive has worked fine on this 8.10 box for several years, it's only when i moved house it's decided to eject itself when it wants to
[19:05] <MorphixNW> I feel I have a very strong point to make, which is very ontopic
[19:06] <MorphixNW> I didnt see many people suggesting anything even close to encryption when I was asking for help, so even the boffs couldnt sort it, because it didnt give anything close to a sensisble error
[19:07] <MorphixNW> so garbage errors and spitting out junk...... well thats one thing that needs to be addressed in order to move forwards into a more user friendly enviroment....rant over
[19:39] <xubuntu803> i have one of the usb phone connectors you buy at walmrt for 40 bucks does it work with xubuntu
[19:39] <xubuntu803> magicjack
[19:41] <xubuntu803> uh hello
[19:41] <TheSheep> !hi
[19:41] <xubuntu803> does the magicjack usb phone work with xubuntu
[19:41] <TheSheep> you might want to check the compatibility list
[19:41] <TheSheep> !compatibility
[19:41] <xubuntu803> ok and were would i find that at
[19:41] <TheSheep> !hardware
[19:42] <TheSheep> here it is
[19:42] <TheSheep> it's very incomplete, your device may still work even if it's not mentioned
[19:42] <TheSheep> btw, if it works with ubuntu, it will work with xubuntu
[19:43] <xubuntu803> ok the other question i have is how do i get my windows mobile phone to sync with xubuntu via bluetooth
[19:44] <xubuntu803> sheep ya there
[19:45] <xubuntu803> hello
[19:45] <TheSheep> no idea, maybe someone else
[19:45] <TheSheep> !bluetooth
[19:46] <xubuntu803> i can get it to pair via bluetooth but i cant get it to sync like i do in windows with activesync
[19:48] <xubuntu803> anyone have any ideas on how to sync xubuntu with windows mobile via bluetooth
[19:48] <TheSheep> what does it sync exactly?
[19:50] <xubuntu803> transfering and installing apps music pics etc
[19:51] <dvanstone> hello
[19:51] <xubuntu803> basicly the same as bluetoothing two computers together
[19:51] <xubuntu803> hello dvan
[19:51] <dvanstone> hello 803
[19:52] <xubuntu803> everyone please excuse me i need to reboot momentairily
[19:52] <TheSheep> well, the default app lets you send files
[19:53] <xubuntu803> i wish i knew how to install ubuntu or a flavor of it onto my phone and get away from that windows mobile crap
[19:53] <dvanstone> anyone know if I am using lvm can I change from grub to grub2
[19:56] <dvanstone> guess that may be out of the scope but simply if I am using f14 would I be able to load other os at boot as option
[19:58] <dvanstone> anyonearound?
[20:01] <mark76> Me
[20:03] <dvanstone> lost ya was looking tru the commands for this app
[20:04] <dvanstone> howdy mark
[20:05] <mark76> Hello
[20:06] <mark76> What's up?
[20:09] <TheSheep> dvanstone: sure, you can have as many operating systems in the boot menu as you want
[20:11] <dvanstone> TheSheep I gots an issue then I got disk that I can see the parts but not boot the parts
[20:11] <TheSheep> dvanstone: is that an old computer?
[20:11] <dvanstone> fairly new
[20:12] <TheSheep> ok, then it's not that
[20:13] <dvanstone> what happened is I was selecting from bios the other disk and forgot to unplug it at new install so it re/wrote the boot on that disc or something like
[20:14] <TheSheep> ah, ok, you should be able to recover that with the rescue mode on the livecd
[20:14] <TheSheep> !boot
[20:14] <TheSheep> hmm
[20:14] <TheSheep> !grub
[20:15] <TheSheep> dvanstone: see that 'restore grub' howto
[20:16] <dvanstone> do I need the original install disc or would I just disble/unplug the one disc that boots
[20:21] <dvanstone> because the disc that doesnt boot I can mount all the parts from the one that is running
[20:23] <dvanstone> just won't boot into the OSes "3" *buntu that can be mounted and the one that boots is running legacy grub the while the other I assume is grub2
[20:25] <dvanstone> !cookie | TheSheep
[20:26] <TheSheep> dvanstone: you can mount it and chroot into it
[20:26] <dvanstone> really
[20:26] <dvanstone> howso
[20:26] <TheSheep> dvanstone: you just have to mount the proc and dev inside the other filesystem
[20:27] <TheSheep> that howto doesn't explain it? let me see
[20:28] <ShootEmUp> hello everyone
[20:28] <dvanstone> ShootEm -Hey
[20:28] <mark76> Back
[20:29] <dvanstone> in/out in/out you sure

[20:29] <ShootEmUp> yeah, Xchat is the bomb
[20:30] <mark76> I wish it had graphic emoticons
[20:30] <dvanstone> well if the gchat was workin on lynx id be on it
[20:30] <mark76> :( just doesn't work for me

[20:30] <dvanstone> well ;)
[20:30] <TheSheep> dvanstone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub#Preparing Your Working Environment
[20:31] <TheSheep> dvanstone: it talks about how to mount the partitions and chroot into them
[20:31] <ShootEmUp> whats the problem?
[20:32] <dvanstone> trying to fix an install

[20:41] <ShootEmUp> so no problems to solve?
[20:41] <ShootEmUp> anyone?
[20:41] <Sysi> i'm too embarrased to tell about them
[20:42] <ShootEmUp> let me rephrase that, any UBUNTU problems?
[20:43] <d-stone> okay this may be more productive
[20:43] <ShootEmUp> do tell
[20:44] <dVan> well on a live disc here I will let it reboot and read that error in d-stone
[20:45] <ShootEmUp> okay
[20:45] <d-stone> give it a sec
[20:46] <d-stone> gives error no sucj device
[20:46] <d-stone> then prompt grub rescue>
[20:46] <ShootEmUp> not reconizing your hard disk
[20:47] <ShootEmUp> or the partition grub is on was destroyed
[20:47] <d-stone> what suggestions do you have
[20:48] <ShootEmUp> do you have any other OS on this computer?
[20:48] <ShootEmUp> the computer with the error
[20:49] <d-stone> yes on that drive several *buntu builds and the other disc loads fine and has f13/f14
[20:50] <ShootEmUp> so 1 hard disk won't boot
[20:50] <d-stone> tru
[20:50] <d-stone> but can be mounted from other
[20:50] <ShootEmUp> any other OS on the HD that won't boot
[20:50] <d-stone> just this discs oses
[20:51] <ShootEmUp> Okay, looks like you need to reinstall Grub or Ubuntu
[20:52] <ShootEmUp> your choice, reinstalling grub is faster, but ubuntu is easyer
[20:52] <d-stone> reinstall grub can this be done from the xubuntu cd
[20:52] <ShootEmUp> Live CD or Alternate install CD?

[21:14] <lighta> wow
[21:14] <lighta> thx
[21:15] <charlie-tca> for real. But see ShootEmUp 's last words, too.
[21:20] <lighta> ok i'll try it =)
[21:25] <wizardslovak> hello people
[21:25] <ShootEmUp> hello
[21:25] <lighta> hi
[21:25] <wizardslovak> i always have problems with partitioning
[21:25] <wizardslovak> i got new pc
[21:25] <ShootEmUp> My name peggy, you have problem
[21:26] <wizardslovak> and i want to install xubuntu on it
[21:26] <wizardslovak> 160 gb and 1tb hard drives
[21:26] <wizardslovak> id like to install it on 160
[21:26] <wizardslovak> i know boot , swap and / are important
[21:26] <wizardslovak> anything else?
[21:26] <ShootEmUp> you can get bye with just / and swap if you want
[21:27] <Sysi> /boot actually isn't
[21:27] <Sysi> you can have entire / on that disc, and TB just for data
[21:27] <wizardslovak> yea
[21:27] <Sysi> separate /home partiton is maybe nice
[21:27] <ShootEmUp> Okay, I assume it has windows Vista/7 on already, correct?
[21:28] <wizardslovak> no
[21:28] <wizardslovak> no windows
[21:28] <ShootEmUp> nothing right?
[21:28] <wizardslovak> i want to separate os from data
[21:28] <lighta> do you want it afterward ?
[21:28] <wizardslovak> nothing
[21:28] <wizardslovak> i jsut build pc , 30 mins ago
[21:28] <lighta> should be better to install windows then linux ?
[21:28] <wizardslovak> i dont want windows at all
[21:28] <lighta> in case you wanted it
[21:28] <lighta> ok
[21:29] <wizardslovak> point of this pc is date server and web server
[21:29] <wizardslovak> with xubuntu
[21:29] <wizardslovak> ;)
[21:29] <lighta> then iptables is important
[21:29] <wizardslovak> yea
[21:29] <lighta> =)
[21:29] <Sysi> you can have like 10GB for / and rest just something for data
[21:29] <ShootEmUp> ok, you want, 100MB /boot, 30GB /, 2GB swap, & the rest /home
[21:29] <wizardslovak> fr now it will be just LAN data server
[21:29] <wizardslovak> ok
[21:30] <wizardslovak> and mountpoint for 1tb hard drive?
[21:30] <charlie-tca> give boot a little more now. It uses more with grub2 than with grub1
[21:30] <ShootEmUp> don't mount it yet
[21:30] <wizardslovak> ok so 100mb /boot primary?
[21:30] <ShootEmUp> 200MB /boot sound good?
[21:31] <charlie-tca> at least 200mb now. The kernel fills it up fast now
[21:31] <wizardslovak> ok
[21:31] <ShootEmUp> Okay
[21:31] <wizardslovak> ext4?
[21:31] <charlie-tca> since they no longer delete the old kernels, if you forget to, to will run out of space quickly
[21:31] <ShootEmUp> ext2 for /boot I think
[21:32] <ShootEmUp> how much RAM does it have?
[21:32] <lighta> aren't something to delete old kerner automatically when you get a new one ?
[21:32] <lighta> like quota space ?
[21:32] <wizardslovak> 4gb
[21:33] <ShootEmUp> whoa, you might just need 1GB swap, unless you want to hibernate
[21:33] <wizardslovak> i read somewhere that u need 2x ram for swap
[21:33] <ShootEmUp> not really if you have alot of RAM
[21:34] <wizardslovak> ok so
[21:34] <wizardslovak> 1gb good enough
[21:34] <ShootEmUp> unless you want hibernate
[21:34] <wizardslovak> partition for swap is primary or logical?
[21:34] <ShootEmUp> either
[21:34] <wizardslovak> well pc will run 24/7
[21:34] <ShootEmUp> 1GB swap is fine
[21:35] <wizardslovak> logical or primary?
[21:35] <ShootEmUp> either will do
[21:35] <wizardslovak> ok done
[21:35] <wizardslovak> now rest for /?
[21:35] <ShootEmUp> might as well do logical
[21:35] <ShootEmUp> that will work
[21:35] <ShootEmUp> but
[21:36] <ShootEmUp> you might want seperate /home
[21:37] <wizardslovak> hmm
[21:37] <wizardslovak> ok so what should i do with all the left space
[21:37] <ShootEmUp> give it to home
[21:37] <ShootEmUp> */home
[21:37] <wizardslovak> now i dont get it
[21:38] <wizardslovak> so should i separate it ? or leave it?
[21:38] <ShootEmUp> okay, 200MB /boot, 30GB /, 1GB swap, the rest goes to /home
[21:38] <wizardslovak> ok
[21:38] <wizardslovak> 30gb for / , enough?
[21:38] <ShootEmUp> yes
[21:39] <ShootEmUp> or you can have no /home, and give all the leftover space to /
[21:39] <wizardslovak> hmm
[21:39] <wizardslovak> well i wont install many apps
[21:39] <wizardslovak> so i dont really need lots of space
[21:40] <wizardslovak> now that 1tb hard drive
[21:40] <ShootEmUp> what is it formated to?
[21:40] <wizardslovak> ill do that /home2
[21:40] <wizardslovak> noting
[21:40] <wizardslovak> brand new drive
[21:41] <ShootEmUp> okay, ext2,ext3,ext4 will work
[21:41] <wizardslovak> ok
[21:41] <wizardslovak> ext4
[21:41] <ShootEmUp> take your choice, I recomend ext4
[21:41] <wizardslovak> well
[21:41] <wizardslovak> i am noob
[21:41] <wizardslovak> with this
[21:41] <wizardslovak> so id prefer your advice
[21:41] <wizardslovak> ;)
[21:42] <ShootEmUp> no problems
[21:42] <ShootEmUp> I love helping people

[21:45] <wizardslovak> ssh i still remember
[21:45] <wizardslovak> how long you have been using xubuntu?

[21:46] <wizardslovak> it was on ethernet since begining
[21:46] <wizardslovak> now i need it to be wireless
[21:46] <wizardslovak> but i cant find settings for it
[21:46] <ShootEmUp> chances are your wireless is not supported by linux
[21:47] <wizardslovak> i am sure they are
[21:47] <ShootEmUp> however, you could be able to ndiswrapper
[21:47] <wizardslovak> i had kubuntu some time ago and it worked without problems
[21:47] <ShootEmUp> okay
[21:47] <ShootEmUp> Ubuntu right?
[21:47] <wizardslovak> kubuntu with kde4
[21:47] <ShootEmUp> No the new install
[21:48] <ShootEmUp> whats on it now
[21:48] <wizardslovak> o n laptop is xubuntu
[21:48] <ShootEmUp> okay, do you have it on and with you
[21:48] <wizardslovak> typing from it
[21:49] <ShootEmUp> okay, look for the network icon
[21:49] <wizardslovak> got it
[21:49] <ShootEmUp> left click, and it should show you avilable wireless networks
[21:50] <wizardslovak> oh wait
[21:50] <wizardslovak> actually i thought u ment icon in "aplications"
[21:50] <wizardslovak> otherwiese i dont see no network icon tho
[21:50] <lighta> add notification zone
[21:51] <lighta> on your panel
[21:51] <lighta> then you'll see what he mean

[21:51] <ShootEmUp> yup he should
[21:51] <wizardslovak> log out , clock , xchat , firefox

[21:55] <wizardslovak> sure
[21:55] <wizardslovak> take your time
[21:56] <ShootEmUp> try system-admin-network connections
[21:56] <ShootEmUp> in your menu
[21:57] <wizardslovak> there is no admin in system
[21:57]  * charlie-tca thinks Xubuntu 10.04 does not really like that network-manager applet in the panel
[21:59] <wizardslovak> word
[22:00] <ShootEmUp> look in every menu for something called network connections
[22:00] <ShootEmUp> I just want to make sure
[22:01] <wizardslovak> i did
[22:01] <wizardslovak> nothing
[22:02] <ShootEmUp> Is network manager installed?
[22:02] <ShootEmUp> !info network-manager
[22:03] <ShootEmUp> I tell you what, open a termanal, and type nm-applet
[22:05] <wizardslovak> "couldnt initialize the d-bus manager"
[22:05] <ShootEmUp> whoa, that could be a problem
[22:05] <ShootEmUp> try reinstalling network-manager
[22:06] <ShootEmUp> go to synaptic, search network-manager, left click on box, select reinstall
[22:07] <ShootEmUp> click apply, try running nm-applet, if it don't work, restart
[22:09] <ShootEmUp> let shootemup know what your up to...
[22:10] <wizardslovak> synaptic?
[22:11] <d-stone> yeah it has should I run install from the live desktop or at first prompt
[22:11] <ShootEmUp> !info synaptic
[22:11] <ShootEmUp> d-stone, either will do
[22:12] <d-stone> can grub2 work on lvm?
[22:12] <ShootEmUp> I'm not sure, let me check
[22:13] <ShootEmUp> yes, grub2 has lvm support
[22:15] <d-stone> yeah I think a partition has been jeejawed on a 500 g disk it shows 213 and 133 hows that for math
[22:16] <d-stone> well quit to use gparted maybe I can see whats gone wrong there
[22:16] <ShootEmUp> Okay, I think I read somewere that to setup a LVM with ubuntu, you have to use the alternate install CD
[22:18] <ShootEmUp> http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem
[22:18] <ShootEmUp> this should help
[22:19] <ShootEmUp> you need to install LVM support first
[22:19] <ShootEmUp> !info lvm2
[22:20] <ShootEmUp> sudo apt-get install lvm2
[22:20] <charlie-tca> or use the alternate cd and do a guided lvm install
[22:20] <ShootEmUp> that works to
[22:21] <ShootEmUp> I gotta go now, but I'll be back tomorrow!
[22:21] <ShootEmUp> ttyl everyone
[22:21] <d-stone> well format drive and install lvm in build afterward ttfn
[22:21] <wizardslovak> weird
[22:21] <wizardslovak> in terminal i cant use nano
[22:21] <d-stone> or maybe bsd first
[22:22] <charlie-tca> can't use nano?
[22:24] <wizardslovak> "error opening terminal : unknown"
[22:24] <charlie-tca> oh

[22:25] <wizardslovak> give me sec
[22:25] <wizardslovak> running /sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:25] <charlie-tca> Let that finish first. that is the updates

[22:58] <Marot> hi evryone
[22:58] <Marot> i ve got a problem
[22:59] <Marot> the installation from live cd fails
[23:01] <wizardslovak> whats the error?
[23:01] <Marot> only installation program crashed
[23:02] <Marot> i could upload 2 files
[23:02] <Marot> http://pastebin.com/yiyex6Rk
[23:02] <Marot> partlog
[23:03] <charlie-tca> Marot: what version of xubuntu? Which image did you use?
[23:04] <Marot> 10.10
[23:04] <Marot> i 386
[23:04] <^Phantom^> I'm seeing if this xubuntu liveCD will boot on my laptop
[23:04] <^Phantom^> So far it seems to be doing better than the ubuntu one did
[23:05] <^Phantom^> if it works, I'll copy over the data I want to keep my external HDD and install the OS ^_^
[23:06] <^Phantom^> 192MB ram, heh
[23:06] <^Phantom^> For now, until I get the new ram for it
[23:07] <charlie-tca> Marot: according to that partitioning log, it partitioned the disk fine
[23:08] <Marot> and this is syslog: http://pastebin.com/vNQuBPNp
[23:08] <Marot> im happy that it partitioned allright
[23:10] <charlie-tca> Try burning a different cd or downloading the image again. it got lost
[23:10] <Marot> ok thnaks for help!
[23:10] <charlie-tca> You are welcome
[23:10] <Marot> *thanks
[23:11] <Marot> bye
[23:11] <charlie-tca> ^Phantom^: you will find it runs really bad. You may have to use the alternate cd to install from, too.
[23:12] <^Phantom^> heh, yeah, I've been told
[23:12] <charlie-tca> but, Xubuntu should run on it. I would use epiphany or midori instead of firefox for a browser, myself
[23:14] <dvanstone> hello
[23:15] <^Phantom^> Oh, the bios and xubuntu's memtest report it as 191MB
[23:15] <^Phantom^> Why, then, does Windows report it as 192MB?
[23:16] <dvanstone> ^Phantom^ may want to ask in #windows
[23:16] <charlie-tca> because windows cheats when it does it
[23:16] <dvanstone> brb restart
[23:22] <dvanstone> hoot
[23:22] <dvanstone> hello again
[23:22] <dvanstone> anyone here
[23:22] <dvanstone> ?
[23:24] <dvanstone> ?
[23:25] <lighta> yes ?
[23:25] <dvanstone> o kool
