xyclogiven nice instructions :^)00:01
MrChrisDruifxyclo: Did you search for linux-lowlatency?00:01
xycloyep00:01
xycloAll points to abogani00:01
xyclobut the reposit only shows the rt kernel00:01
MrChrisDruifAnd it didn't return something after you added the ppa?00:01
xycloI did try it and works great for audio!00:01
xycloBUT00:01
xycloSkype keeps crashing00:02
xycloI need Skype00:02

caseyHow do you install compiz?01:18
caseyon ubuntu gnome01:19
holsteinhey casey01:20
holsteinyou should just have it01:20
holsteinprobably an issue of getting the proper drivers01:20
holsteinassuming your hardware is compiz capable01:20
holsteinyou can check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion01:21
holsteinand check back if you have questions :)01:21
seidoscasey: holstein is right.  he's a bright dude.  you can try enabling it in system->preferences->appearance->effects01:21
jmarsdencasey: You can do    dpkg -l compiz    to check whether it is already installed01:21
caseyno packages found01:23
seidoscasey: sudo apt-get install compiz?  what version of ubuntu?01:24
caseystrange... the software says it's installed01:25
caseyUNR 10.1001:25
gunndawgcasey, did you install something that might use compiz, and so it already installed it01:25
gunndawglike Ubuntu Tweak (which i heard to stay away from01:25
caseyI tried to install it, using the software center01:25
caseygot ccsm installed, but still no 3d cube01:26
gunndawg3D cube is over rated ;)01:26
caseyI ran compiz --replace, the desktop flashes a few times and then I'm back at the desktop with no apparent changes01:27
gunndawgnot sure, I dont use 3D Cube as I have no reason to01:30
gunndawgwould rather save the system resources for something else01:30
caseywell... great! Now how am I supposed to impress people looking at my screen?01:32
caseySo how do you uninstall apps? like compiz01:33
seidosdoes UNR 10.10 come with Unity, casey ?01:34
gunndawgseidos, hey there, didnt see you sneak in01:34
jmarsdencasey: You can uninstall apps using sudo apt-get remove PACKAGENAME     or use one of several GUI package managers such as Synaptic01:34
seidosi think it does, and from what i've read, Unity doesn't support compiz yet.01:35
holsteinseidos is a brite d00d too :)01:36
gunndawgholstein, some times ;)01:36
holsteingunndawg: hehe01:36
seidosgunndawg: never01:36
gunndawgholstein, did I show you my finally finished GUI Python app ?01:37
holsteingunndawg: do share01:37
gunndawgI made a front-end for Apt-01:37
gunndawglemme upload some screenshots01:37
gunndawgholstein, http://min.us/mvbxe7k  3 screenshots tehre01:39
holsteinHEY01:39
holsteini used to use that wallpapper01:39
holsteini used to use that wallpaper*01:39
holsteinthats from someone at #ubuntu-uk right?01:40
gunndawgwho ?01:40
gunndawgmy program or the wallpaper ?01:40
holsteinwallpaper*01:40
holsteingunndawg: i like the GUI :)01:40
gunndawgholstein,  thx, its a front-end to Apt01:41
seidoswouldn't it be cool if sabdfl wandered around pretending to be other people?01:41
gunndawgholstein, pretty simple lil tool01:41
jmarsdenseidos: Identity theft is identity theft, no matter who does it :)01:42
seidosjmarsden: haha.  pedantism \o/  i think i just made a new word01:42
jmarsdenjmarsden: pedantry is the existing word that you are seeking, perhaps? :)01:43
gunndawgseidos, more words are created on the internet every day then viruses, and thats a lo!01:43
gunndawglot*01:43
seidosjmarsden: no.  isms have negative connotation01:43
seidospedantry should be deprecated for "precision"01:44
seidosor "skill"01:44
seidosand pedantism for social awkwardness01:44
seidosjust saying!01:44
* jmarsden thinks discussing language use may be off topic in #ubuntu-beginners :)01:46
caseyHow do you guys feel about powertop? Should I follow the suggestions01:46
gunndawgI am hoping in 11.04 my mic will work, I hate not having one that works!01:47
seidosi don't have any feelings for powertop.  i use top though01:49
jmarsdencasey: If you need extra battery life, following powertops ideas can help.  But you may want to be sure you understand them before implementing them.  Just in case they do things to your machine that you don't expect.01:50

multiHYPhi02:19
multiHYPwhere is the file that is preloading my terminals with certain environment variables?02:19
holsteinhey multiHYP02:22
holsteinwhat are you thinking about in particular?02:22
multiHYPlike a .profile or .bashrc file02:22
holsteinthe way i 'theme' the terminal02:23
multiHYPthat has all the environment variables for the logged in user02:23
holsteini right-click02:23
holsteinand go to 'profiles'02:23
holsteinand to 'profile preferences'02:23
multiHYPoh i don't have gui access to that machine right now, do you know where that file is potentially saved?02:24
holsteingood question02:24
multiHYPi mean i am just sshed into its terminal02:24
holsteinhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66362802:24
holsteinThere are xml folders in /home/username/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles with all the settings for the default gnome-terminal. I imagine if you create a profile it would be stored here as well. The xml files have background, theme, color etc info.02:25
holsteini think that is what we are looking for multiHYP ^^02:25
multiHYPawe awesome02:25
holstein:)02:26
multiHYPi went so far as .gconf, but then stopped02:26

multiHYPok thanks holstein02:26
holsteinmultiHYP: i went as far as right-clicking on the terminal window ;)02:27
multiHYPactually someone else is telling me in another ubuntu channel that the file is ~/.profile02:27
holsteinso you're doing better that me02:27
multiHYPno i just ask too many people :D02:27
multiHYPthanks though02:27
holsteinwell, you got options02:28
holsteinmaybe that got moved around from 8.04 to 10.04 or whatever02:28
multiHYPbut the thing is under mac os x i did the same thing, however ended up doing something completely different02:28
multiHYPmaybe because it was mac and not linux, but still02:29

gunndawgrockcolttumtum, try uninstalling Windows 7 ;)05:35
rockcolttumtumhaha.05:35
rockcolttumtumthanks05:35
gunndawgrockcolttumtum, doing that fixed all my problems05:35
rockcolttumtumi wish i could.05:35
rockcolttumtumgrad school won't let me.05:35
gunndawgthats a shame05:36
rockcolttumtumyea. i have to have windows to access all out network drives. i've already tried talking to our IT guys into helping me config my ubuntu but they're not having it05:36
rockcolttumtumi'm going to try something someone told me in the ubuntu room05:37
rockcolttumtum"sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub"05:37
rockcolttumtumthink it'll work?05:37
holsteintry just sudo update-grub05:37
holsteinfirst05:37
holsteinthat literally cant hurt05:37
rockcolttumtumi did.05:37
holsteinhmmm05:37
rockcolttumtumproblem is i didn't think to create a sys restore disk of windows before i started.05:37
rockcolttumtumand all my windows disks are 64 bit05:38
rockcolttumtumand the os that came with my school's laptop is 3205:38
holsteinwell, as long as its a 64bit machine05:38
rockcolttumtumwell, it would run 64.05:38
holsteinyou got re-install discs05:38
holsteinfor the worst case scenario05:38
rockcolttumtumbut the factory came with 32 for some reason.05:38
rockcolttumtumi don't think it came with re-install disks. that'd be dumb of me to assume05:39
rockcolttumtumlet me go check05:39
gunndawgholstein, quit telling people to use sudo update-grub and tell them to start using my Apt- front end app!! it updates grub! :)05:39
holsteingunndawg: hehe05:39
holsteinplug it :)05:39
gunndawgyou know it!05:39
gunndawgand btw, hi holstein05:40
gunndawglol05:40
holsteino/05:40
rockcolttumtumhey holstein05:40
rockcolttumtumkeith here.05:40
rockcolttumtumyea. it's one of those really expensive dell latitude's i don't need05:40
rockcolttumtumthat came with like 5 paritions already on it05:40
gunndawgrockcolttumtum, jesus05:40
rockcolttumtum3 i think in seriousnes05:40
gunndawgrockcolttumtum, de-curse that computer05:40
rockcolttumtumhaha.05:40
rockcolttumtumthere was a recovery parition05:40
gunndawgrockcolttumtum, set free the power of ubuntu on that poor thing05:41
rockcolttumtuma main parition05:41
bioterrorapt- front end app05:41
bioterrorwtf is that?05:41
rockcolttumtumand something else. utility parition for a utility i never learned how to use05:41
holsteini had 4 partitions on this EEE i got last week05:41
gunndawgbioterror, a GUI based apt- command handler that I made05:41
rockcolttumtumso i split the main partition05:41
bioterrorhyh05:41
rockcolttumtumjust took a 100GBs out for ubuntu to have fun.05:41
rockcolttumtumand installed fine as wine (pun intened)05:42
rockcolttumtumbut from grub it won't run win7 now05:42
gunndawgbioterror, is "hyh" an acronym for something I didnt get the memo for ?05:42
rockcolttumtumwhen i select it it just keeps bringing me back to grub05:42
holsteinhanging out in here made me nervous about setting this thing up05:43
gunndawgrockcolttumtum, I dont see the problem then ;)05:43
holsteinand saving win705:43
rockcolttumtumlol05:43
holsteinit helped that i really wouldnt lose any sleep if i lost it05:43

gunndawgany computer that fails to load windows is a perfect computer05:43
holsteinBUT, win7 is booting05:43
holsteinor was last time i checked05:43
holsteinand i didnt need to do anything special05:43
rockcolttumtumhaha. thanks gunndawg. i have to have it to access my campuses research servers.05:43
gunndawgbioterror, instead of using terminal to use commands like "sudo apt-get install whatever" you can do it all with my GUI with just a click of a button05:44
rockcolttumtumif i didn't i wouldn't have it .05:44
holsteinrockcolttumtum: lets look up some documentation on os-prober05:44
bioterrorgunndawg, "w0w" :D05:44
rockcolttumtumi'm going to try it05:44
rockcolttumtumand reboot.05:44
rockcolttumtumand i'll be back in 505:44
bioterrorgunndawg, is it better than synaptic for example?05:44

holsteini was reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub205:48
_CommandeR_Guys need some newb help really. Thing is that got no logical partitions left but want to install another distro so i have unused 40gb how can i move that space to an allready extended space ?05:48
gunndawgbioterror, yeah junk cleaner runs the command "sudo apt-get autoremove" basically cleans up the left over files when you uninstall a package05:49
holsteinrockcolttumtum: the command you ran will be in your history05:49
holsteinthats a good start id say05:49
rockcolttumtumyea.05:49
rockcolttumtumgood call05:49
bioterrorgunndawg, that kind of guis doenst help newcomers at all05:50
rockcolttumtum"sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub" was what i ran05:50
bioterrorgunndawg, they're missing all the --switches and stuff like that05:50
rockcolttumtumanything that needs to be undid?05:50
holsteinpobably not05:50
rockcolttumtumgoodness. the ubuntu room is too ridiculous. i can't get a word in.05:50
gunndawgbioterror, I never said this was for newcomers, I never said it was for anyone actually05:50
gunndawgbioterror, its simply an application that I made05:51
bioterrorand you were suggestin people to use it instead of terminal...05:51
gunndawgbioterror, I also said it was a "work in progress"05:51
DiSTORT3Dcron is better for junk :P05:51
bioterrorgunndawg, can I do: sudo apt-get purge openjdk-6-jre{-headless,-lib,} icedtea{-6-jre-cacao,6-plugin}   with your app05:53
bioterror^__^05:53
gunndawgbioterror, yep05:53
rockcolttumtumholstein: any info I can grab that will make diagnostics easier?05:54
bioterrorand it supports tabcompletion for those inside {}05:54
gunndawgcorrect05:54
rockcolttumtumi read something about a menu list but mine pulled up blank. then i read grub2 replaced it for something. idk.05:54
holsteinrockcolttumtum: not sure05:54
holsteincan you see the ntfs partition?05:54
holsteinfrom linux?05:54
holsteindo you see all the partitions you expect to see when you run sudo fdisk -l05:55
holsteinrockcolttumtum: you should read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub205:55
DiSTORT3Dlol apt-mirror repo in 2 hours :o06:12
DiSTORT3D@12.5mb/s06:15
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, what is that ?06:16
DiSTORT3Dapt-mirror, mirroring ubuntu repo06:16
=== JoeSett is now known as JoeMaverickSett
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, ah ok, why would one wanna do that? I am curious06:17
DiSTORT3Dlocal access on multiple systems instead of downloading it everytime.06:18
JackyAlcineDiSTORT3D: good idea.06:18
JackyAlcineDiSTORT3D: Good for backing up?06:18
gunndawgah ok06:19
DiSTORT3Dnot really more for installing, got alot of people here coming around to use my net for updating or experimenting with ubuntu but i pay per TB data transfer, so a local repo is better06:20
gunndawgif your downloading at 12.5mb a sec and its gonna take 2 hours, thats like 9TB06:20
gunndawgwait06:21
gunndawg90TB06:21
DiSTORT3D90 GB06:21
gunndawgoh, hmm06:21
gunndawgyeah 90,000MB06:21
gunndawgmb*06:21
DiSTORT3Dbasic repo dupe is 86 GB06:22
gunndawgi'll save my HDD :006:22
gunndawgonly got 250gb on this laptop06:22
JackyAlcineThat's not bad; I can throw that onto a spare hard drive, if need be.06:23
DiSTORT3DYea space is not expensive06:23
gunndawgI think I might kick this laptop up to 4gb memory and add a 500gb hdd and call it good06:24
gunndawgthough it works great how it is now06:24
gunndawgfor some reason I dont cram my HDD as much on ubuntu as I used to do on windows06:24
gunndawgor maybe I am and I dont know how to properly maintain stuff, heh06:26
gunndawgI might have left over files, unused files, etc all over this system06:26
DiSTORT3D4.8TB in total Raid 606:27
DiSTORT3D1.2 TB used in mirroring HDD06:28
DiSTORT3D8 x 600 GB06:28
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, just download the internet, problem solved ;)06:29
DiSTORT3Dmaybe not a bad idea :)06:29
DiSTORT3Dbut where do i leave it :D06:29
gunndawghey thats an idea, you could be your own ISP, just download the internet and when people want to sign up for service, just give them a HDD that holds the itnernet :)06:29
DiSTORT3DWhere does the internet start?06:30
gunndawghmmm, didnt Al Gore create it ?06:30
gunndawgjk (incase anyone thought I was serious)06:31
DiSTORT3DYou get internet from ISP but where get you ISP the bandwidth from?06:31
gunndawginternet hubs, apparently there are 13 of them in the world06:32
gunndawgat one point last year the hub in Russia went down, for like a 24 hour period they had no internet06:32
gunndawg7 of the 13 hubs are in America, the rest are spread out around the world06:33
DiSTORT3Dhow are internet hubs are beeing powered up then its starts from nowhere and there is internet?06:33
gunndawgI dont understand what your saying06:33
seidoshey guys06:34
gunndawghey seidos!06:34
seidosdang, i missed Elise00106:34
DiSTORT3DInternet Hubs that where the internet comes from, how do they generate internet?06:34
seidosDiSTORT3D: interesting question.  is the internet that data?  or the connectivity?  or both?06:34
gunndawgthey dont "generate" internet06:34
DiSTORT3Ddata06:35
DiSTORT3Dpackets06:35
seidosspeaking coherently takes effort06:35
seidosi meant the, not that06:35
seidosbrain has a mind of its own06:35
gunndawgseidos, your a perfect example of ur own quote ;)06:35
gunndawgseidos, lets make the next big app together06:36
seidosgunndawg: i'd love to.  unfortunately, i ain't got the skills06:36
seidosgunndawg: have you checked out the linux kernel mailing list?06:36
JackyAlcineDiSTORT3D: The Internet is a collection of networks, think of it as a giant wifi hotspot.06:37
gunndawgseidos, I learned python and wxPython in a 24 hour period06:37
gunndawgseidos, its pretty simple and you can learn as you make something, thats what I did06:37
JackyAlcinegunndawg: From where?! Please swing that kit by me. :D06:37
gunndawgJackyAlcine, stand by06:37
DiSTORT3DI understand that but what is the origin.06:37
seidosgunndawg: i want to make a distributed (p2p) http protocol06:37
seidosholy toledo!06:37
seidosthat's crazy06:37
DiSTORT3Dwhere does it all start?06:38
JackyAlcineDiSTORT3D: It doesn't!06:38
JackyAlcineDiSTORT3D: Nor does it end!06:38
JackyAlcinelol :D06:38
gunndawgseidos, wow you read my mind06:38
DiSTORT3Dsounds like life06:38
gunndawgseidos, I thought about starting that project also06:38
gunndawgJackyAlcine, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mf0h3HphEA06:38
seidosDiSTORT3D: two computers connected, then 3, then 4...etc. etc. untill you have a billion or however many there are06:38
gunndawgJackyAlcine, he has like 70 or something python tutorials, starting small and gets bigger, then he goes into GUI python programming, I suggest you follow him on youtube or bookmark him or something06:38
gunndawgJackyAlcine, watching his tutorials was enough for me to make that front-end app that I made06:39
_CommandeR_guys this seems resonable = http://image.bayimg.com/aadghaadl.jpg right?06:39
gunndawg_CommandeR_, fix that by removing windows ;)06:40
JackyAlcinegunndawg: You helped me out so much. :D06:40
gunndawgJackyAlcine, np, those are great tutorials06:40
DiSTORT3Dgnome apt panel, does it work in kde?06:40
_CommandeR_Need the windows for programming.06:40
gunndawgJackyAlcine, and like I said, there is like 70 of them or something for basic python, then he goes into making them a GUI06:41
gunndawg_CommandeR_, I program on linux, you can as well06:41
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, I am not sure, I havent tested it06:41
_CommandeR_not XNA/C# that my school enforce atm06:41
seidosarg, the window is in windows06:41
seidoshow does one record their screen?06:41
DiSTORT3Dcan u minimize windows?06:41
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, I am still working on Gnome apt- panel, will be a full fledged app when im done06:42
DiSTORT3Dcool, ill test it for you in kde if you want too.06:42
gunndawgseidos, download DesktopRecorder06:42
gunndawgseidos, I did last night06:42
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, awesome, I'll let you know when im ready for a KDE test :)06:42
DiSTORT3D:)06:43
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, I am working on a "preferences" menu so they can pick gnome or kde, so the program knows which terminal to utilize06:43
seidosgunndawg: not in repositories06:43
gunndawgseidos, I think I got it off a website06:44
seidosgunndawg: bah!06:44

JoeMaverickSettseidos: i've never tried gtk-record though06:47
JoeMaverickSettseidos: seems to me kazam is good06:47
_CommandeR_gunndawg, also i need windows for one important thing. as backup OS to flash my SSD that runs my Desktop OS.06:47
gunndawgDiSTORT3D, ultimately I'd like to embed an emulated terminal into the program it self, so it doesnt need to use one06:47
DiSTORT3Dyes that would be awesome.06:47
AbhijiTJackyAlcine, ping06:47

DiSTORT3Dthey all look the same only one has more applets then the other.06:50
_CommandeR_docky seems the best.06:50
DiSTORT3Dawn :P06:50

JackyAlcine_CommandeR_: the Elementary Team has made a dock like Docky but in C++06:50

DiSTORT3Da friend of mine is make ubuntu bluray edition, it has a size of 22 G atm07:01
gunndawg_CommandeR_, I can program just fine with 1 monitor, a 15" one at that07:01
_CommandeR_yeah i programmed before with my laptop07:01
_CommandeR_however when i moved up damn07:01
_CommandeR_a tut or a wiki on one screen. programming on one and debugging or a movie on third07:02
gunndawg_CommandeR_, I tend to focus on just programming when I am at it, a movie would be annoying, lol07:02
gunndawgI need to be IN THE ZONE07:02
_CommandeR_or like this = http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2137335/Pics/multitask.png07:03
gunndawg_CommandeR_, do you utilize python? Seidos and I wanna start a p2p client, I am just drafting ideas right now07:03
DiSTORT3Di wonder if we will find mirrors that one host a 25 GB iso image07:03
DiSTORT3Dthat will*07:03
_CommandeR_utilize as using ?07:03
gunndawg_CommandeR_, utilize as in program with it07:04
seidosgunndawg: have you considered joining ubuntu-beginners-dev?07:04
_CommandeR_never touched python really07:04
gunndawgseidos, hm no sir07:04
seidosgunndawg: do you know what a .in file?07:04
seidoswrt python?07:04
gunndawg_CommandeR_, ah ok, yeah i started with C, then C++, then C# with XNA, not python07:04
_CommandeR_only done some HTML, C# and XNA07:04
gunndawgseidos, no07:05
gunndawg_CommandeR_, you should look into python programming, the syntax is pretty simple and its a really powerful language07:05
_CommandeR_and Bash scripts if that counts :P07:05
gunndawg_CommandeR_, yeah well I started with a bash scripted program, then used python to port it into a GUI07:05
_CommandeR_I am proud of my Bash script terminal program. It is so pretty and clean.07:06
seidosthere is an issue in glchess, where python jumps to 100% cpu utilization, dang that's hard to troubleshoot07:06
gunndawg_CommandeR_, now learn python and port it over to a GUI :)07:06
_CommandeR_I am more of a terminal guy really, thats why I am moving to arch07:06
gunndawg_CommandeR_, what IRC client do you use ?07:06
_CommandeR_Xchat07:06
gunndawg_CommandeR_, if your a terminal guy then you should be using irssi or weechat :)07:07
seidos_CommandeR_: you can be a terminal guy with ubuntu.  what difference would arch make?07:07
gunndawg_CommandeR_, Terminal based IRC07:07
_CommandeR_arch is more awesome07:07
seidosirssi is niiiiice07:07
seidosi'm really impressed with its robustness07:07
seidosbut xchat is cool07:07
_CommandeR_Also playing with Arch gives more understanding to how linux really works etc.07:07
gunndawgseidos, I just wish IRSSI had a nicklist07:08
seidos_CommandeR_: that's what i hear.07:08
seidossame with gentoo07:08
seidosbut, i suspect you could always download source code with ubuntu.  it's all accessible...just sitting there...waiting to be explored...07:08
* seidos drools07:09
_CommandeR_Aur is awesome and also there is a pacman program "strongpill" or something that may download and install updated att the same time07:09
gunndawglol07:09
_CommandeR_updates*07:09
gunndawgI am content and happy with Ubuntu07:09
gunndawgso I'll stick with it07:09
gunndawgand Ubuntu 11.04 soon!07:09
seidosi would have to be bored to switch07:09
AbhijiTJackyAlcine, i am back. you there?07:09
_CommandeR_seidos, I am bored :P07:10
JackyAlcineI usually am.07:10
seidos_CommandeR_: well there you go07:10
JackyAlcineWe should take this chat to the offtopic channel, guys. :307:10
seidosi'm not not, my ~/src folder is overflowing with stuff07:10
gunndawgJackyAlcine, I was about to suggest that07:10
_CommandeR_Like roling releases more than wait 6 monhts for some changes07:10
seidosi am bored of not being bored07:10
gunndawgwe should make our own channel!07:10
seidosall right, i am getting stupider as time goes on, i think i should lay down07:11
gunndawgseidos, nooooooo07:11
AbhijiTJackyAlcine, i wanted to know who is head of wintermute. i would like to talk to him.whats his nick? where can i found him?07:11
jmarsdengunndawg: You can do that any time you like /join #yourownchannel   if you really want to :)07:11
gunndawgjmarsden, I know that ;) I am an IRC network admin07:11
JackyAlcineCome to ##wintermute, AbhijiT07:11
AbhijiTokay07:11
JackyAlcinegunndawg: Really? I need your help!07:11
JackyAlcinegunndawg: Come to #sii07:11
gunndawgJackyAlcine, you can only utilize my help once per 24 hours07:12
jmarsdengunndawg: IRC netadmin but no cloak ??07:12
* _CommandeR_ @ 8 IRC networks and over 32 channels 07:12
gunndawgjmarsden, not needed07:12
JackyAlcinegunndawg: Sure, I just need a channel for my group.07:13
gunndawgJackyAlcine, its not my network, I just help maintain it07:14
gunndawgJackyAlcine, its the Xevion network07:14
JackyAlcineGrrr.07:14
_CommandeR_rawr07:15
gunndawgmeow07:15
_CommandeR_damn it takes ages07:15
_CommandeR_need an SSD for my laptop :/07:15
* _CommandeR_ wonders when ATI driver support will be at par with nVidia on linux :/07:17
andrew_46gunndawg: Hmmm.... is there are script that gives irssi a nicklist? Can't quite remember07:19
gunndawgandrew_46, im not sure, a channel list would be even better07:20
gunndawgswitching between like 8 channels on IRSSI is a pain, so i am forced to use xchat07:22
andrew_46gunndawg: I use adv_windowlist.pl which makes channel switching a little easier... just found the nicklist script, I shall try and get it running07:24
gunndawgyou can use scripts with irssi ?07:24
gunndawgyou should hook me up with the channel list07:24
gunndawgI will switch to irssi if I can have a better way to switch channels, I can do without a nicklist07:26
andrew_46gunndawg: I vaguely remember detailing this is a guide I wrote a while back07:27
andrew_46There it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=101078007:27
andrew_46Under: 'Add a few more scripts ... '07:27
JackyAlcinePidgin!07:28
* andrew_46 can see no birds07:28
gunndawgandrew_46, im lookin07:29
andrew_46gunndawg: Not my best work, that one :(07:30
gunndawgandrew_46, I am running $ $ wget http://anti.teamidiot.de/static/nei/*/Code/Irssi/adv_windowlist.pl07:30
gunndawgand its not doing anything07:30
gunndawgdoing that in irssi07:30
andrew_46gunndawg: In an ordinary terminal, not in irssi'07:31
gunndawgoh ok07:31
andrew_46You can test it with: /script load adv_windowlist.pl07:32
andrew_46rather than auto-load it07:32
gunndawgok its installed07:33
gunndawgandrew_46, how do I use it in irssi ?07:34
andrew_46gunndawg: Have you run /script load adv_windowlist.pl07:35
gunndawgyeah07:35
gunndawgsays its not found07:35
andrew_46oic, you need to place the script in $HOME/.irssi/scripts07:36
gunndawgwhere do I locate it, to move it07:36
andrew_46find $HOME -name 'adv_windowlist.pl'07:37
andrew_46in a terminal07:38
gunndawgok found it07:38
gunndawgok script loaded07:38
* jmarsden thinks... channel name ends in -beginners, and people are using irssi scripting? :) :)07:39
andrew_46Cool, now your channels should be lined up on the bottom status bar and you can navigate with alt + arrow keys07:39
gunndawghow many channels will it keep in that window ?07:40
andrew_46gunndawg: No idea :)07:40
andrew_46I only use 4 or 5 channels07:40
gunndawgoh I see,  juat makes the window bigger if it needs more space07:40
andrew_46gunndawg: If you like the script you can make it start with irssi startup?07:41
gunndawgsure, how do i do that, its pretty nice07:41
seidosi don't even use adv_windowlist.pl07:42
seidosi think used to when i first used irssi07:42
andrew_46cd $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun && ln -sv ../adv_windowlist.pl07:42
gunndawgandrew_46, have you tried weechat07:42
andrew_46seidos: I am a big fan :)07:42
gunndawgthey have a nice channelist, http://the-apps.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/weechat.jpg07:42
andrew_46gunndawg: I am a huuuuuuge irssi fan07:43
gunndawgandrew_46, ah ok07:43
gunndawgandrew_46, so just running that command in terminal will make it auto load the script every time ?07:43
andrew_46gunndawg: Yep, not sure if you need to use /save as well, best to be safe and do so :)07:44
gunndawgandrew_46, I guess I need to also make an autorun folder in scripts ?07:45
andrew_46gunndawg: Indeed, if it is not there yet07:45
gunndawgandrew_46, and do I put the script file in auto run also ?07:45
gunndawgnvm, got it workin07:46
gunndawgok gonna switch to irssi, brb!07:47
GunnDawgback!07:49
GunnDawgAndrewMC: how do I leave a channel in irssi?07:49
red2kic/wc07:49
andrew_46GunnDawg: Usually simply: /leave My clever message07:50
andrew_46The command /leave is an alias for /part07:50
GunnDawgandrew_46: NickServ is taking up one of my channels07:50
GunnDawgwith limited space I dont want him to be my Alt + 2 window07:50
andrew_46GunnDawg: NickServ can be removed on startup, which I have done in the past... looking...07:51
GunnDawgandrew_46: thx07:51
GunnDawgthat took a bit to timeout07:53
andrew_46Hmmm..... I actually authenticate with SASL, so the NickServ window does not open, how do you log into Freenode?07:58
GunnDawgandrew_46: I use /server irc.freenode.net07:59
seidosyou add a server with /server, then use /connect to connect to the server you add08:01
GunnDawgseidos: im aware of that ;)08:01
seidosi found this command which auto authenticates to nickserv /SERVER ADD -auto -network freenode irc.freenode.net 6667 password08:01
GunnDawgseidos: that doesnt fix my NickServ issue with irssi08:01
seidosGunnDawg: i wasn't talking to you :)08:01
GunnDawgseidos: oh my bad08:01
seidosjust throwing information out there08:02
seidosi actually came back to pause chromium08:02
GunnDawgseidos: pause it ?08:02
seidosGunnDawg: pkill -stop chromium08:02
GunnDawgseidos: im not gonna run that until you tell me what it is, lol08:02
seidosit is using cpu cycles when i'm afk, and i don't like it08:02
andrew_46GunnDawg: So you don't have an automatic connection setup?08:03
seidosGunnDawg: it just "pauses" the process, stops it.  you can resume it with pkill -cont process08:03
GunnDawgandrew_46: no, not with irssi08:03
seidosanyway, night amigos08:03
GunnDawgseidos: see ya08:04
andrew_46GunnDawg: You can setup and automatic connection in the standard way and add 'window goto nickserv;/wc";' but best is to use SSL and SASL, this is the safest way and also does not open an extra NickServ window08:05
GunnDawgandrew_46: this would be a lot nicer if nickserv didnt take up one of my channel slots08:05
GunnDawgandrew_46: how do i set it up with SASL ?08:05
andrew_46GunnDawg: Have a look at the section starting 'Automatically connect ... ' in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=101078008:06
GunnDawgk brb08:10
andrew_46Hmmmm......hope I am not making things too complicated..... I have been accused of this before :(08:11
gunndawgback08:14
gunndawgseems like it worked fine :)08:14
gunndawgAndrewMC: it connected, authenticated me, and auto joined 5 channels for me, thanks :)08:15
andrew_46gunndawg: Excellent news :)08:15
andrew_46gunndawg: I you run a /whois on yourself you will see 'is using a secure connection' now08:16
gunndawgandrew_46: very well08:16
gunndawgandrew_46: I have always liked irssi but used xchat for its channel list and ease of connecting, but now I can get rid of xchat :)08:17
andrew_46and if you load the script hack-whois-in-current-window.pl the /whois window will open in your current window08:17
=== AbhijiT_ is now known as AbhijiT
gunndawgandrew_46: right on08:18
andrew_46gunndawg: I used Xchat a whil back and mIrc in windows days but irssi always feels a lot faster08:18
gunndawgandrew_46: well it is faster, its more light weight, and easier on system resources08:19
* andrew_46 will now continue his evil plan to convert everyone to irssi....08:19
red2kicStarting with me. :)08:19
gunndawgred2kic: I recommend it, i always have but prefered xchat for its ease of use, but with these scripts I think irssi is on part now08:20
gunndawgpar*08:20
=== red2kic is now known as red2kic_xchat
andrew_46gunndawg: Don't forget Ubuntu packages a big bunch of scripts as 'irssi-scripts'08:21
gunndawgandrew_46: good to know :)08:21
andrew_46as in:sudo apt-get install irssi-scripts08:22
gunndawgandrew_46: just wish we could get a chan-list on the side or something08:22
gunndawgandrew_46: but this works fine08:22
red2kic_I love irssi-mouse. :)08:22
andrew_46Hmmmm.... don't know about the channel list08:22
andrew_46red2kic_: mouse?08:22
gunndawgred2kick_ what does irssi-mouse do ?08:22
red2kic_xchatandrew_46: Yes. You can use mouse to scroll up/down instead of PageUp/PageDown. Also, to change channels with mouse gestures.08:23
gunndawgred2kic_xchat: hm that sounds good, how did you install that ?08:23
red2kic_xchatFor Ubuntu... Good question.08:23
andrew_46gunndawg: http://scripts.irssi.org/ --> mouse.pl08:24
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: This one?08:24
xyclo_nick08:24
red2kic_xchatandrew_46: It does look like it but I know I don't use mouse.pl08:24
xyclo_...08:24
xyclo_Hi!08:24
red2kic_xchatAfter all, I'm trying to convert myself to irssi from xchat. :P08:25
andrew_46Looks like some irssi patches kicking around as well...08:25
red2kic_xchatSometimes I go back. :X08:25

gunndawgwith mouse wheel08:27
xyclo_Just realized my laptop is 64bit compatible (and 3GB RAM). I use (or am planning to use) a lot of audio applications. Is there a real improvement in performance? Will it be a pain to compile stuff or get versions compatible in general? I am running Ubuntu-Studio 10.04, which is what I would use, at least for now.08:27
xyclo_Hi andrew_4608:27
andrew_46gunndawg: you are using yoour mouse? You look a lot .... smoother .... :)08:27
gunndawgandrew_46: not sure how to take that08:28
red2kic_xchatandrew_46, gunndawg: Ah. Yes, it does use .pl after all -- Not mouse.pl -- but there are few pl in there. :O08:28
andrew_46gunndawg: in a good way :). I have never heard of mouse + irssi before08:28
gunndawgandrew_46: yeah you can use the wheel to scroll the chat08:29
gunndawgandrew_46: how do i make the script autorun with irssi? just put it in the autorun folder ?08:29
red2kic_xchatgunndawg: Yes.08:29
gunndawgk brb08:29
andrew_46gunndawg: That is one way, the technically more correct way is to place a symlink08:29
andrew_46but it is the same result08:30
red2kic_xchatLink or just move it, I suppose. Rather than copying. :P08:30
andrew_46D'oh!! Too slow again....08:30
gunndawgnice08:30
gunndawgirssi is now awesome08:30
gunndawg:)08:30
red2kic_xchatandrew_46: Is there a way for me to receive hilights using changed text colors rather than background hilight?08:30
andrew_46xyclo_: My own experience is only with 32bit, sorry :(08:31
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: Absolutely no idea I'm afraid :(08:31

xyclo_ok, thx anyways!08:32

gunndawghm ok08:34
andrew_46gunndawg: You are after sound?08:34
gunndawgandrew_46: can I change the color of that on the channel list ?08:34
gunndawgits like a dark gray08:34
red2kic_xchatred2kic_: Beep.08:34
gunndawgandrew_46: no just seeing what color shows up in the channel list when someone pages me08:34
andrew_46gunndawg: Colors are in $HOME/.irssi/default.theme08:35
gunndawgandrew_46: thx08:35
andrew_46gunndawg: and color schemes x 1,000 online, + some 'official' ones as well08:36
gunndawgandrew_46: nice they make themes for irssi ?08:37
red2kic_gunndawg: Yes. :)08:37
gunndawgred2kic_: nice! where is a good site for those ?08:37
red2kic_http://irssi.org/themes08:37
red2kic_And probably some on gnome-looks, I would imagine.08:37

andrew_46But background sound on the system tends to wreck this :(08:40
red2kic_I loaded usercount.pl -- I don't see the result. What gives?08:40
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: Does not work here either :(. Perhaps not with newer irssi??08:42
andrew_46wait08:42
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: Try: /statusbar window add usercount08:42
red2kic_Ah. That's nice. 71 nicks. :)08:43
red2kic_Oh you read the script. Doh!08:43
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: Indeed :)08:43
gunndawgred2kic_: is usercount.pl the script that makes a user list on the right side ?08:44
red2kic_gunndawg: Yes.08:44
red2kic_gunndawg: no.08:44
gunndawgbut it doesnt work ?08:44
gunndawghttp://irssi.org/themefiles/revolutionary.png  like that ?08:44
red2kic_gunndawg: I mean.. It only display the number of nicks.08:44
andrew_46red2kic_xchat: I see Timo Sirainen is credited in part for this one, is he creator of irssi?08:44
gunndawgandrew_46: how can I get a nick list like shown in that screen I posted08:45
andrew_46gunndawg: That one looked quite complex and I did not play with it: http://scripts.irssi.org/ --> nicklist.pl08:46
andrew_46Within the script is a url with details08:46
red2kic_andrew_46: I learned that userlist is pretty rather useless information, but then again, usercount.pl might be too. :P08:46
gunndawgandrew_46: ah ok, I guess I can do without it08:47
red2kic_@1 %0 +20 5108:47
andrew_46gunndawg: There is a command for nicks, but not much good on a busy channel08:47
gunndawgandrew_46: yeah I dont really use the nicklist anyways in xchat come to think of it08:48
gunndawgandrew_46: do you do any sort of programming ?08:50
andrew_46gunndawg: Shell scripting is all I am capable of :(. BTW the nicklist has a simple explanation here: http://al3k.net/category/irc/08:51
gunndawgandrew_46: look at this guys irssi setup08:52
gunndawgandrew_46: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnHTMMSzgC008:52
gunndawgandrew_46: that little thing at the top is awesome!08:53
gunndawgandrew_46: any clue what that is ?08:53
red2kic_andrew_46: Make a script that'll automatically connect to irssi under screen. If no screen, make one, then create irssi. This is something I have been meaning to do. :P08:53
red2kic_This guy have four monitors!08:54
andrew_46He obviously has no life :)08:54
gunndawgI want that script he has08:54
gunndawgfor the top08:54

red2kic_Watching the video.08:55
gunndawgis that what its called ?08:55
gunndawghtop ?08:55
red2kic_I don't know. If you are talking about color top, then that's htop (interactive).08:55
red2kic_Except that have nothing to do with irssi. :)08:55
red2kic_Oh.08:56
gunndawgred2kic_: im talking about the top where people message him08:56

red2kic_xchatBeep09:10
red2kic_xchatred2kic_: Hi sugar09:10
gunndawglol09:10
red2kic_Awesome.09:10
red2kic_It's done. :)09:10
gunndawgnice isnt it ?09:10
red2kic_It's an improvement, yes. :O09:10
red2kic_I might prefer it on seperate channel. Idk yet.09:11
red2kic_Are you using adv_windowlist.pl?09:11
gunndawgyes09:11
gunndawgbtw I just installed his theme and I like it even better09:11
red2kic_Paste the link you pasted earlier.09:12
red2kic_For your screenshot.09:12
gunndawgcan I make a diff screenshot ?09:13
red2kic_He got invisible statusbar at top. I have sttausbar.09:13
red2kic_Sure.09:13
gunndawghttp://min.us/mvbxfDt09:13
xyclo_Good night. It's 4.13am...09:13
red2kic_I suppose I will make a nice script that'll check for screen, irssi, etc.09:14
gunndawgI got rid of the blue color and spaced out the channels some09:14
red2kic_xyclo_: Sweet dream.09:14
gunndawgred2kic_: check for screen?09:14
xyclo_Yes, I'll have time just for one...09:14
xyclo_Thx09:14
red2kic_gunndawg: Yes. To avoid starting multiple irssi or screen. Check if screen is running, then use that to detach. Make things little easier if I'm not connected to the computer.09:15
red2kic_to reattach*09:15
gunndawgred2kic_: I dont get what you mean by check if scren is running, your monitor ?09:15
red2kic_gunndawg: multiplayer notepad.09:16
red2kic_gunndawg: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi#learning_screen09:16
red2kic_gunndawg: What gtk theme is that?09:17
gunndawgred2kic_: I never log out, so no reason to use screen I guess09:17
red2kic_gunndawg: Useful for ssh.09:18
gunndawgred2kic_: I dont use ssh either09:18
gunndawgheh09:18
red2kic_As if you never left the computer. :)09:18
gunndawgred2kic_: I never do leave the computer ;)09:18
red2kic_*Gasp*09:18
gunndawglol09:19
red2kic_Your eyes! They're glued to the screen. ._.09:19
gunndawgred2kic_: yes, :)09:19
gunndawgred2kic_: I wanna figure out how to add a little space between the highlight box and the chat09:22
gunndawglike in his video, and how to space out the channels at the bottom09:22
red2kic_I need the link again. I closed it.09:24
red2kic_Meh.09:24
red2kic_I think that's something with awl.09:25
gunndawglink to video or his article about how to set it up ?09:25
red2kic_The video. I think it have to do with /awl09:25
red2kic_Well, I would guess.09:25
gunndawghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnHTMMSzgC009:25
red2kic_It is weird for him to watch himself from different place. :(09:26
red2kic_I see it. Mmm. awl, defintely.09:26
red2kic_\/set awl(tab)09:27
red2kic_ /set awl (tab,tab)09:27
red2kic_It'll display options.09:27
gunndawgwait, what ?09:27
gunndawgwhat is awl09:27
red2kic_gunndawg: adv_windowlist.pl something.09:27
gunndawgoh ok09:27
gunndawgso how does that help me put spacing between the hilight box and the channel list ?09:28
red2kic_gunndawg: It's one of the options... bnut I don't know which. I'm testing them all. Type /set awl<tab,tab>09:30
red2kic_gunndawg: You'll see them.09:30
red2kic_gunndawg: Or do this.. "/set awl"09:30
red2kic_It'll print out all list.09:30
gunndawgyeah I see the list09:30
gunndawgbut not sure which one to use, or how to use those options09:30
gunndawgI tried awl_separator but it said unknown command09:30
red2kic_gunndawg: "/set awl_block -15" for example.09:30
red2kic_gunndawg: Try that. It's awl_block, I believe.09:31
gunndawgok, if it doesnt work do you know how to get it back to normal ?09:31
red2kic_gunndawg: Look at "/set awl_block'09:32
red2kic_gunndawg: It'll display the value.09:32
red2kic_So remember that.09:32
red2kic_Then you go ahead and changei t.09:32
gunndawgok that didnt fix it09:32
red2kic_What theme are you using?09:33
red2kic_For irssi.09:33
red2kic_Since my adv_windowlist.pl looks ugly.09:33
gunndawgthe one off his tutorial09:33
gunndawgi suggest you use his09:33
gunndawgand follow his tutorial, it realy fixes stuff09:33
red2kic_Ah. Much better.09:34
red2kic_Sorta.09:34
gunndawgred2kic_: follow his tutorial and get rid of the act panel also09:35
red2kic_I removed act.09:35
red2kic_I'll show you what I have.09:35
gunndawgok09:35
gunndawgred2kic_: use www.min.us to post a screenshot09:35
gunndawgits easier, just drag ur photo into the page09:35
red2kic_gunndawg: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=13636709:36
red2kic_Originally I was using envy.theme09:37
gunndawgred2kic_: why is it so vertical ?09:38
red2kic_gunndawg: I have 24" monitor. It shows up on right side.09:38
gunndawgoh ok09:38
red2kic_Takes up 1/3 of the screen.09:38
gunndawgI'll be set once I figure out how to add a little spacing between the highlight box09:39
gunndawgand the channel box09:39
gunndawgso the chat is seperated from both of those, even by just 1 line09:39
gunndawgone line of spacing is all I need09:39
seidossynchronicity09:40
gunndawgseidos: what ? lol09:40
red2kic_If he play that word in Scrabble, that's worth 26 points. :)09:42
gunndawgheh09:44
red2kic_gunndawg: Hi.09:47
red2kic_I think I found out how.09:47
red2kic_Notice the video.09:47
red2kic_All he did was remove everything, including usercount.pl09:47
red2kic_Leaving a minimal one-line.09:47
gunndawgremove everything ?09:47
red2kic_Trim off the time.09:47
red2kic_Yes.09:47
red2kic_He only have one thing.09:47
red2kic_The current channel.09:48
gunndawgand his hilight box09:48
gunndawgand the channel list09:48
red2kic_I'm talking about the top line.09:48
gunndawgyeah09:48
red2kic_Which you want to create a line.09:48
red2kic_Yeah.09:48
gunndawga space09:48
gunndawgyeah09:48
red2kic_He didn't create a line, he just take off lot of things so... a line.09:48
red2kic_Yup.09:48
gunndawgok09:48
HumanBladehi can i get general help in here?09:53
HumanBladeoh and, HI ALL!09:53
red2kic_Sure.09:54
gunndawghello09:55
HumanBladewell my problem is related to network shares. i can connect with the gui, and i can see it's using cifs, but using mount -t cifs i get "mount error: cifs filesystem not supported by the system"09:55
HumanBladeso i was wondering if there was a way of checking whether my kernel was maybe not compiled with cifs.ko etc.09:56
red2kic_Heh. Dunno. Ask kernel channel.09:57
tsimpsonmake sure you have smbfs installed09:57
HumanBladei do. first thing i checked09:58
HumanBladei mean i can connect via gui, so it's really weird09:58
HumanBladeif there was a way i could see how the gui was connecting, i'm sure i could figure it out09:58
tsimpsonhave a look at the output of "dmesg|tail" right after trying to mount a cifs share10:00
HumanBladeone moment...10:00
HumanBladeonly thing i see related is gvfsd-smb used greatest stack depth10:02
HumanBladei think that's related....10:03
bioterrorhi hobgoblin10:03
hobgoblinhi bioterror10:03
HumanBladelet me look into the gvfsd-smb thing and see if it's related. thanks for your input tsimpson10:04
HumanBladeoh christ... i just modprobe cifs and i ain't got it10:08
=== webjadmin is now known as JackyAlcine
HumanBladeugh.....10:09
gunndawgHey JackyAlcine10:09
HumanBladeum so anyone wanna be nice and step me through the process of tracking down and ismodding the correct cifs.ko?10:10
HumanBlade*insmodding. pretty please? with ubuntu on top?10:10
HumanBladei mean cifs is a standard kernel module, right? gonna go check out the ubuntu-kernel guys10:13
tsimpsoncifs.ko should come with the linux-image-$(uname -r) package, so yeah it's standard10:13
tsimpsonshould be at /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/cifs/cifs.ko10:14
HumanBladenope not there10:16
HumanBladei hope that's something i can just insmod. my kernel/fs has fat,fuse,isofs and nls10:16
tsimpsonwhat kernel are you running?10:17
HumanBladewhen i uname -r i get:2.6.32.23+drm33.1010:17
HumanBladei have newer kernel modules in /lib/moudles10:17
tsimpsonlooks like a custom build10:18
HumanBladeit is..... chrome laptop cr-4810:18
red2kic_HumanBlade: How did you get that? >_>10:18
HumanBladedual booting an ubuntu that saved me 6 hours of crap10:18
HumanBladei beat up a google10:18
HumanBladeand stole her laptop10:18
HumanBlade:)10:18
tsimpsondo you have a /boot/config-2.6.32.23+drm33.10 (or similar)?10:19
HumanBladei applied in mid-december for pilot program, showed up like 3 days ago10:19
HumanBladedoubt it one sec10:19
HumanBladeall my configs are for 2.6.35+10:20
=== CensoredBiscuit is now known as moocat
HumanBladeprobably if i switch to that kernel, no problems10:21
HumanBladewell at least i know the issue. i'll have to look into either insmodding or switching the kernel10:22
tsimpsonit may be that the kernel you're running has cifs disabled10:22
HumanBladewell there's no boot config, so it would have to have been compiled that way i'm guessing10:23
tsimpsonthe boot config is just a copy of the config used to compile the kernel, it doesn't effect the already compiled kernel10:24
HumanBladeunless you're hinting there may be a way for me to enable it.... i mean there's no module for it's version in /lib10:24
HumanBladeahhhh10:24

HumanBladewell tsimpson, thank you for helping me. gonna cruise the web for possible solution10:26
tsimpsonno problem10:26
HumanBladei'm assuming switching out a kernel is often messy10:27
HumanBladeone last q... do you know where the kernel log is? should be catching any unrecognized calls to it10:28
red2kic_gunndawg: Hoo hoo.10:35
red2kic_gunndawg: Run "/statusbar" and "/help statusbar"10:36
red2kic_gunndawg: That might get you an empty line.10:36
tsimpsonHumanBlade: usually /var/log/kern.log10:38
HumanBladedoes it mean anything that i have mount.cifs in sbin?10:39
gunndawgred2kic_: hmm10:39
HumanBladei'm assuming it doesn't matter cause it's not working anyways10:39
red2kic_gunndawg: Same thing you used to remove "act" -- And the one responsible for top (topic) statusbar.10:39
gunndawgred2kic_: ah right10:40
tsimpsonHumanBlade: it means nothing without kernel support, it's a helper that mount uses to do the cifs specific stuff10:40
red2kic_ibuclaw: Do you use irssi? :310:40
gunndawgred2kic_: so your saying I should remove the status bar ?10:40
red2kic_gunndawg: No. I was saying you could add new one -- and leave it empty. That would get you an empty line -- What you wanted.10:41
gunndawgred2kic_: ok so how would I do that, and also how do I get rid of the topic bar as well10:42
red2kic_gunndawg: I'm guessing it is "/statusbar window remove topic"10:42
gunndawgred2kic_: would I be able to re add those if that doesnt work right ?10:42
red2kic_gunndawg: I don't know. :D10:43
red2kic_gunndawg: I mean I wouldn't know how to add it afterward.10:43
gunndawgoh ok10:43
gunndawgI better not try it then10:43
gunndawgwell I did try it and didnt work10:43
red2kic_gunndawg: It is good idea to leave topic bar alone though. Little reading won't hurt.10:43
gunndawgsaid Statusbar item doesnt exist: topic10:44
red2kic_gunndawg: Maybe "/statusbar root remove topic"10:44
gunndawgStatusbar doesnt exist: root10:44
red2kic_gunndawg: Meh. Dunno. :(10:45
gunndawgah ok10:45
gunndawgjust would be nice to get some space between the higligt box and the channels10:45
gunndawgso its not all cramped together10:45
gunndawgI made a post on that guys forum10:45
gunndawgso maybe he'll respond10:45
gunndawgred2kic_: hmm wait maybe it did remove something10:47
gunndawgor maybe it added a spacer, but not in the right spot10:48
red2kic_gunndawg: It shouldn't add anything. Just remove the top "topic"10:48
gunndawgyeah10:49

red2kic_Trying to work the hilight format colors.10:57
gunndawgah ok10:57
gunndawgwhat color you tryin to make it ?10:57
red2kic_I don't want background color. Just text.10:57
red2kic_Like xchat. :)10:58
gunndawghm I dont have background color10:58
gunndawgand I never changed anything10:58
gunndawgby default there is no background color10:58

gunndawgyour not usin irssi anymore ?11:02
red2kic_Irssi should be able to use.11:02
red2kic_I'm on irssi. The other red2kic is on xchat.11:03

red2kic_I'm still modifying irssi to my likings.11:03
red2kic_xchat -- I'm done with that. :)11:03
gunndawgoh ok11:03
geirha/hilight -color %r red2kic11:05
gunndawgred2kic_: type me a really long message, i wanna see if the hilight box will wrap it11:05
red2kic_geirha: The thing is -- I already have that.11:05
red2kic_But I still get the background hilight -- I even tried appending %0 -- Nothing.11:06
geirhaWhat do you mean by background hilight?11:06
red2kic_gunndawg: I told him I was only a callow youth with two foolish feet.  "I'm old and half blind, and couldn't care for eating the likes of you.  But in exchange for your shoes and satchel I'll tell you how to avoid the people who smell the anger running down the mountainside.  Didn't your father tell you?  The people who run down the mountain to the valley only come to eat youths with foolish feet like your own."11:06
red2kic_geirha: Highlighted Background. I wish to leave it black, but change the color of the text.11:06
red2kic_geirha: Just like the url I posted above.11:07
gunndawgred2kic_: meh, it kinda works, but kinda not, dang11:07
geirhaThat's odd, for me that /hilight line only changes the text color.11:07
red2kic_Maybe it's a conflict with theme I'm using (envy).11:08
gunndawgI might try weechat again11:11
gunndawgits a nice terminal based irc client as well11:11
red2kicred2kic_: I concur.11:11
red2kic_Irssi is well too.11:12
red2kic_red2kic11:12

red2kicgunndawg: Yes.11:48
red2kicI'm still around.11:48
gunndawgred2kic: the guy who posted that irssi video with the tutorial responded to my thread, so maybe he'll tell me how to get proper spacing :)11:48
red2kicNice. :)11:49
gunndawgindeed11:50
red2kicI'm perfecting my irssi.11:50
red2kicTurns out it was theme-related issue.11:50
red2kicSo i'm configuring my own theme.11:50
gunndawgred2kic: right on11:51
gunndawgscreenshot it when ur done11:51
gunndawgI think I"ll be content with my setup once he tells me how to get that proper spacing11:51
red2kic_gunndawg: Okay.11:55
red2kic_Sure thing. No problem11:55
red2kic_I can screenshot it right now.11:55
red2kic_Just say something.11:55
red2kic_gunndawg: Hilight me!11:56
gunndawgred2kic_: hey11:56
red2kic_Now, some more without my nick.11:56
gunndawghow do I hilight you without your nick ?11:56
gunndawgim confused11:56
red2kic_Perfect.11:56
red2kic_:)11:56
gunndawgoh you meant just chat11:56
gunndawgok screenshot it :)11:56
gunndawgif I like it, I might have to steal ur theme ;)11:57
red2kic_:o11:57
red2kic_I might work on it some more. I'm uncertain if I want it bold or not. :P11:57
gunndawgwell screenshot it11:57
red2kic_gunndawg: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=13637811:58
gunndawgah, not using the hilight box ?11:59
red2kic_That's it. I don't want it. :P11:59
gunndawgah ok, I like it, and will like it even better once its spaced11:59
red2kic_Now I'm having everything bold. Just for a test run.11:59
gunndawgred2kic_: blah blah blah, testing ur bold11:59
red2kic_I think it'll be nice in large channels. I know where I say and what others hilighted me at.12:00
red2kic_The rest will be just plain white. :)12:00
gunndawgI can see what I say with white text as my name and everyone else is green12:00
red2kic_Chat more, gunndawg.12:00
gunndawgred2kic_: screenshot: http://min.us/mvkxMKB12:00
gunndawgred2kic_: still without the right spacing, but its easy to see what I say, with the white12:01
red2kic_geirha have been helpful in my case. And he won a dollar from me. :P12:01
gunndawgI just think the hilight box is helpful incase I miss a PM or something12:01
gunndawgor if someone links me to something, I dont have to worry about losing it when the chat scrolls to much12:02
red2kic_Indeed. :)12:03
geirhaAh, that looks useful12:04
red2kic_geirha: Show off your irssi! SCreenshot!12:05
red2kic_http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=13637912:07
red2kic_BOLD.12:07
gunndawgred2kic_: hate those colors, lol12:08
red2kic_I drive. :P12:08
red2kic_Red = STOP!12:09
red2kic_Meh. I like it. :)12:09
gunndawgI drive also12:09
red2kic_However, too much bold.12:09
gunndawgyou use like 6 different colors in that theme12:09
red2kic_But if I don't talk much, it might be okay.12:09
red2kic_If I don't use bold green, it looks darker. :(12:10

caseyis there a way to refresh your gnome(desktop,rendering,whatever). I dragged some text in chrome and it got stuck in the middle of my screen12:35
matt_hcasey:  have you tried hitting the Show Desktop button to see if it goes away?12:37
caseyit stays12:37
caseyit's on top of everything, kind of annoying12:38
matt_htry hitting CTRL + R12:38
matt_hsorry casey, I should have said get to your desktop and hit CTRL + R12:39
caseyheh, ctrl+r  must be reconnect12:39
caseydoesn't work on the desktop either12:39
matt_hhmm12:40
red2kic_casey: If you have any nautilus window open, close them. "nautilus -q" might do the job.12:40
caseyI suppose I could logout and log back in and that would fix it... but i was trying to avoid that12:40
caseyit's still there12:41
caseyI was going to logout... but when I closed bluefish it went away12:43
caseywas bluefish using nautilus or something?12:44
matt_hwere you dragging text from chrome to bluefish?12:45
caseyyeah, on accident12:45
caseyand it got stuck in the middle of my screen12:45
red2kic_gunndawg: If you have irssi hooked up to libnotify or something similar, let me know.12:45
matt_hnot 100% on the technical terms, but bluefish could have just had a "hiccup" rendering when the text came over and so it froze it on the screen...closing it destroyed the link to the bad rendering12:46
gunndawgred2kic_: I dont even know what libnotify is12:47
red2kic_gunndawg: Ah, I guess not. It's a popup. To notify you of something, Download completed. You got a message. Etc.12:47
ibuclawred2kic_, I'm just generally always messing. :312:49
red2kic_ibuclaw: Maybe not at first. I think. ;)12:49

ATDPRHSthat I want to install ubuntu over it21:27
ATDPRHSI don't think so21:28
holsteini would be nervous about Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.21:28
holsteinand Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.21:28
ATDPRHSI have windows 7 installed21:28
ATDPRHSand I don't wanna lose it21:28
ATDPRHSit has all my work21:28
ATDPRHSand I would like to use both21:29
ATDPRHSand I have recover partition which cannot be lost...21:29
holsteinright21:29
holsteinbackup your work though21:29
ATDPRHSI backed up my work21:29
holsteinbecause this *could* easily break21:29
ATDPRHSbut i can't back up the recovery partition21:29
holsteinwell, you should read21:29
holsteinand research21:29
holsteinand make sure you dont break that then21:30
holsteinATDPRHS: you have win7 installed21:30
ATDPRHSyes21:30
ATDPRHSUltimate21:30
holsteinand an archive partition21:30
ATDPRHSyes21:30
holsteinand the other2?21:30
ATDPRHSIn windows21:31
ATDPRHSit says21:31
ATDPRHSthat I have21:31
ATDPRHSC, D, E, G, H21:31
ATDPRHSC Windows 721:31
holsteinwell, these are all SFS21:31
ATDPRHSyes21:31
holsteinim not sure how the buntu installer sees those21:31
ATDPRHSbut I remember I deleted H I guess21:31
ATDPRHSso it no longer exists in "Computer" in win721:32
holsteinubuntu *should be asking you to install on the empty space21:32
holsteinthe space that you made21:32
ATDPRHSI don't see that it asks for that21:32
holsteinin the 'side by side' option21:32
ATDPRHSi haven't seen that Side by Side21:33
holsteini think like bioterror suggested21:33
ATDPRHSI've been around it since 2 days ago21:33
ATDPRHSand can't find it21:33
holsteini'll look21:33
holsteinATDPRHS: do this...21:33
holsteinin the terminal21:33
holsteinrun21:33
holsteinlspci21:33
holsteinand put that in pastebin as well21:33
holsteinthen, reboot into the installer21:34
ATDPRHShttp://paste.ubuntu.com/563575/21:35
ATDPRHSthis time its posted by ATD21:35
ATDPRHScan't I open the installer from the live?21:35
ATDPRHSor do I have to reboot?21:36
holsteinATDPRHS: good point21:36
holsteini'll boot into the installer, and catch up with you21:36
holsteinand you read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub221:36
holsteinin the meantime21:36
holsteinATDPRHS: to dual boot21:36
holsteinyou'll need to replace the boot loader21:36
holsteinthat should make you nervous21:36
holsteinwindows wont boot linux though21:36
ATDPRHSokayz21:36
ATDPRHSI know about that, I tried grub before21:37
holsteinso, you have to use GRUB or something friendly to both lin and win21:37
holsteinOH, ok21:37
ATDPRHSDo I reboot?21:37
holsteinnot yet21:37
ATDPRHSokayz21:37
holsteinim about to run the installer as well21:37
holsteinyou can lauch that too21:37
holsteinlaunch*21:38
ATDPRHSokayz21:38
ATDPRHSI launched the installer from the live CD desktop21:38
holsteinATDPRHS: step 321:39
holstein'install alongside other operating systems'21:39
ATDPRHSI don't have that option?21:39
ATDPRHSAre you using Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD?21:39
holsteinyup21:39
holsteinthe only thing i can thing of21:39
holsteinis that i havent ever used SFS partitions21:40
holsteinBUT, you have empty space21:40
holstein*in theory21:40
ATDPRHSyes21:40
holsteinhow about21:40
holsteinspecify manually21:40
holstein?21:40
holsteinyou have that?21:40
ATDPRHSWait21:40
ATDPRHSlet me check21:40
ATDPRHSI'm clicking forward21:40
ATDPRHSI have two options21:41
holsteinthis is 'allocate drive space'21:41
holsteinthat step21:41
ATDPRHSErase and use the entire disk21:41
holsteinright21:41
ATDPRHSspecify partitions manually (Advanced)21:41
holsteinATDPRHS: is that the only option?21:41
holsteinyeah21:41
ATDPRHSI'll go into the other one ofcourse21:41
holsteinif thats all you got21:41
ATDPRHSyes21:41
holstein*specify manually21:41
ATDPRHSthats all I got21:41
holsteinyou should see the drive there21:41
holsteinall the partitions21:42
ATDPRHSI do21:42
holsteinin colors21:42
ATDPRHSyes21:42
ATDPRHSsda1 green21:42
ATDPRHSsda2 orange21:42
ATDPRHSsda3 ntfs21:42
holsteinATDPRHS: you'll need at least 1 partition21:42
ATDPRHSsda4 ntfs21:42
holsteinfor linux21:42
holsteinyou'll probably want 221:42
holsteinprobably a big ext partition21:42
holsteinand swap space21:42
ATDPRHSokayz21:43
ATDPRHSbut wait21:43
holsteinthats how the automagic installer would do it21:43
ATDPRHSI see the partition sizes 1 MB, 208 MB, 313524 MB (used 54073 MB), 326400 MB (Used 14984 MB)21:43
holsteinright21:44
holsteinyou should see the empty space you made21:44
ATDPRHSI can't see my 30-40 GB partition that I deleted through windows to prepare it for ubuntu21:44
kristian-aalborgI have a partition that I would like to keep "in case", and the rest partitioned automatically for an install... how do I do it?21:44
holsteinim not sure how that works21:44
holsteini use Gparted for that21:44
holsteinkristian-aalborg: i would use something like clonezilla21:45
holsteinsomething to back that up21:45
holsteinjust in case21:45
ATDPRHSokayz21:45
kristian-aalborgI think I remembert having done it with the default tools21:45
ATDPRHSI Open the GParted?21:45
holsteinbut, the manual partitioning will let you do whatever you want21:45
holsteinATDPRHS: well, im saying21:45
holsteini would have used Gparted21:45
holsteinfor the first job21:45
ATDPRHSokayz21:45
kristian-aalborgI have nothing on the partition right now... I'd just like to save some space if I want another OS21:46
ATDPRHSDo I go back to windows and recreate that partition then go back to Ubuntu?21:46
holsteinim not sure how windows deletes partitions21:46
holsteinATDPRHS: im not sure21:46
holsteinyou got those error messages too21:46
holsteinthat it seems like windows created21:46
holsteinmaybe not21:46
holsteinkristian-aalborg: you can always resize later21:46
holsteinwith Gparted21:46
holsteinin that case21:46
holsteinATDPRHS: on my new-ish machine21:47
holsteini had 2 ntfs partitions21:47
holsteinthe OS was using21:47
holsteinwin 721:47
holsteinand a restore part21:47
holsteini used Gparted21:48
ATDPRHSI got an idea21:48
holsteinkept the restore part21:48
holsteinremoved one ntfs part21:48
holsteinand shrunk the other one21:48
holsteinthen, used the remaining space21:48
holsteinto install 10.0421:48
holsteinATDPRHS: thats another option21:48
holsteintry the 10.04 live installer21:48
holsteinor, an alternate installer21:49
kristian-aalborghmm... I think I got it... I made an / a /home and a /swap - enough?21:49
holsteinkristian-aalborg: sure21:49
ATDPRHSOkayz21:49
ATDPRHSIt sees ATDPRHS which I created later21:49
ATDPRHSin GParted21:49
* kristian-aalborg tries21:49
holsteinif it were my drive21:49
ATDPRHSI'm gonna restart to windows and create the deleted partition, I think it will be seen through GParted21:50
holsteini would be worried about those error messages21:50
holsteinATDPRHS: go for it :)21:50
ATDPRHSgive me 3 min.21:51
ATDPRHS34098 MB is the drive I will create now21:54
ATDPRHSH21:54
ATDPRHSDone21:55
ATDPRHSI'll go back to Ubuntu, ok?21:55
ATDPRHSholstein21:55

holsteinthat too ^^22:05
seidosanyone have any ideas on what to do about a nonfunctioning  sd-card reader on a notebook?22:05
holsteinyou can only have 4 primary partitions22:06
holsteinseidos: try Gparte22:06
holsteind22:06
ATDPRHSI can't activate my wireless22:06

holsteinmight be dead then22:07
holsteinseidos: is it the 'reader'22:07
holsteinor the card22:07
holstein?22:07
holsteinthat should be easy enough to determine22:07
holsteinassuming you have 2 cards22:07
ATDPRHSHow do I get back to the devices?22:07
seidosholstein: probably the reader.  it does this.  it has worked before, but not reliably22:07
holsteinand 2 readers22:07
holsteinseidos: try a different kernel22:08
holsteinmaybe one of your old kernels22:08
holsteinATDPRHS: what devices?22:08
seidosholstein: good idea.  hmmm...what was the karmic kernel...22:08
ATDPRHSi want to install the wireless device22:08
holsteinsystem - administration - hardware drivers ATDPRHS ?22:09
holsteinseidos: i would just burn a live CD22:09
holsteinif i wanted to go back that far22:09
ATDPRHSI can't find it22:09
holsteini was thinking just one of the old ones you have hanging around in grub22:09
seidosholstein: i don't have cd's.  i got a usb stick.  i guess i could try that22:09
holsteinseidos: yup :)22:09
holsteinunetbootin22:09

DiSTORT3Dlol oddness ubuntu installed automatic a pae kernel image on my netbook wich has only 1 GB22:12
bioterrorDiSTORT3D, I think alternative installation uses pae automaticly22:13

bioterrorATDPRHS, in terminal: sudo blkid22:15
ATDPRHSand it showed me new partition size in mb 326400 which I think this is the size of the drive?22:15

ATDPRHSbioterror?22:27
bioterrorATDPRHS, you say 1.5x the RAM for your SWAP and rest for /22:28
ATDPRHS1.5 GB?22:28
bioterrorI dunno your system configuration22:28
bioterrorbut if you have 1GB, then it's let's say 1.5GB22:29
ATDPRHSAre you talking about the drive size that I want to install ubuntu on?22:29
ATDPRHSahh22:29
ATDPRHSMy laptop's RAM is 4 GB22:30
bioterrordo the math22:30
ATDPRHSSo I'll give the swap 153622:30
ATDPRHSMB22:30
bioterrormy ram usage is atm. 343/1.46GB22:30
ATDPRHSfor the swab area22:31
bioterrorI dont know what you're going to do22:31
bioterrorhow much ram you're going to use and are you going to hibernate22:31
ATDPRHSOkayz22:31
DiSTORT3Dhttp://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=paWRV88M22:31

ATDPRHSI created new partion that is swap22:32
ATDPRHSwhat other partitions I should create?22:32
bioterrorand now you create another one and it's mount point is /22:32
bioterrorand all the space left is allocated for /22:32
ATDPRHSits loading22:33
ATDPRHSafter the manual installation, will it damage my other operating system bioterror?22:34
bioterrorwhy would it damage?22:34
bioterrorATDPRHS, I hope you chose ext4 as the filesystem22:35
bioterroras it's the golden path of FS22:35
ATDPRHSdoes it usually take long?22:35
bioterrorI can install lubuntu in 20mins from USB pendrive22:35
bioterrorarch takes ̃~10mins and I'm leeching stuff22:35
ATDPRHSI'm talking about creating the swap22:38
bioterrorwhat22:38
bioterrorit takes like minute or something22:39
ATDPRHSits taking long22:39
ATDPRHSit still showing that its creating22:39
ATDPRHSthe mouse pointer is still showing that its loading :S22:40
bioterrorofcourse, it will create / and swap at the same time22:40
bioterrorafair22:40
ATDPRHSokayz22:40
ATDPRHSSo how long you been linux user?22:41

ATDPRHSI've tried many times before but always stuck at the installation22:42
ATDPRHSits like since 5 years22:42
ATDPRHSyeah22:42
ATDPRHSAre you sure it takes a minute to create the swap?22:42
ATDPRHScuz its still working on that22:42
bioterrorpretty much, right MrChrisDruif22:43
MrChrisDruif??22:43
bioterrorbut I have to get to bed22:44

bioterrorit's 00:44 and my phone wakes me up 05:3022:44
ATDPRHSthanks bioterror22:44
ATDPRHSsorry...22:44
bioterrorbut something aint right or something if it takes that long22:44
bioterrorhave you chosen the filesystem for the /?22:44
ATDPRHSnot yet22:44
ATDPRHSits still loading22:44
ATDPRHSfor the swap22:45
bioterror:P22:45
bioterrorit should not take this long22:45
ATDPRHSdo I close it?22:45
bioterrorcan you start any applications22:45
ATDPRHSand run it again?22:45
bioterroror something22:45
ATDPRHSyes22:45
ATDPRHSyeah22:46
ATDPRHSI can22:46
ATDPRHSso do I quit it the installer22:46
ATDPRHSand try again?22:46
ATDPRHSor wait?22:46
bioterroryou can quit it and try again22:46
ATDPRHSI quit it22:48
ATDPRHSbut I'm trying to reopen it22:48
ATDPRHSdone22:48
ATDPRHSdo I make it logical or primary?22:49
bioterrorwindows wants to be parimary22:50
ATDPRHSyes22:50
ATDPRHSI don't wanna lose windows22:50
ATDPRHSso I make it logical?22:50
ATDPRHSthe swap22:50
ATDPRHSlogical?22:50
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: On a logical partition you can put (up to 4 I thought) primary partitions (HDD are limited to 4 primary partition)....swap is counted as an primary partition22:52
MrChrisDruif:)22:52
ATDPRHSthank you MrChrisDruif22:53
ATDPRHSI'm new at this...22:53
MrChrisDruifI was thinking that O:-)22:53
MrChrisDruifI've been idling at this channel for 2 hours or something...22:54
MrChrisDruifBeen busy with other things22:54
ATDPRHSwhats the difference between beginning and end?22:54
ATDPRHSin creating the partions?22:54
MrChrisDruifPlacement on the disk drive22:55
MrChrisDruifI thought beginning was nearer to the center...hence better for swap22:55
ATDPRHSIt doesn't let me create another partition after creating the swap?22:55
MrChrisDruifHow much partitions are you currently having?22:56
ATDPRHSsda1 -> 3 without swap22:56
ATDPRHSthey are for the windows22:56
ATDPRHSI deleted sda4 then create from the free space to swap as 2 GB22:57
ATDPRHSI make it (primary and beginning, swap area, MB 2048)22:57
ATDPRHSSo what do I do?22:57
MrChrisDruifSo you have a Windows partition and 3 others?22:58
ATDPRHSWindows Partition and 2 others22:58
DiSTORT3DFetched 174MB in 16s (10.3MB/s)  ^^22:59
MrChrisDruifWell....if SWAP is another partition you create...then your up to 4 right?22:59
ATDPRHSyes22:59
MrChrisDruifWhat are on the other two partitions?22:59
MrChrisDruifDiSTORT3D: Good going ;)22:59
ATDPRHSrecovery and a personal drive23:00
MrChrisDruifAlright....I think you don't want to lose those two....hence my next idea ;)23:01
MrChrisDruifConvert the total amount of remaining disk space into an logical partition23:01
MrChrisDruifAfter that add SWAP and / partition23:01
MrChrisDruif's23:01
ATDPRHSwhat is the type of the logical partication?23:02
ATDPRHSuse as?23:02
ATDPRHSI mean23:02
ATDPRHSwhat use as of it?23:02
MrChrisDruif??23:02
ATDPRHSahh23:03
ATDPRHSokayz23:03
ATDPRHShold on23:03
MrChrisDruif*holding*23:03
ATDPRHShow much / should be?23:04
ATDPRHSwhich one is it?23:04
ATDPRHSin "Use as"23:04
ATDPRHSI see Ext4, 3, 2, reiserFS, btrfs, JFS, XFS, FAT16&32, swap23:04
MrChrisDruifHow much space have you got? I would say Ext4 and everything that remains after you've created swap :)23:05
MrChrisDruif(At least for now O:-))23:05
ATDPRHSOkayz23:05
ATDPRHSNow I created 2 GB Swap and the rest are Ext 423:06
ATDPRHSthats it?23:06
ATDPRHSDo I click install?23:06
MrChrisDruifYes :)23:06
MrChrisDruif(More advanced would be to also create a separate /home, keeping you data safe after a fresh install23:06
MrChrisDruif)23:06
MrChrisDruifBut that can also be added after your all set  :)23:07
ATDPRHSso / is for the ubuntu operating system files23:07
ATDPRHSand /home is for my data23:07
ATDPRHSwhat else?23:07
MrChrisDruifYeah, but /home is a sub-folder, so it's still created but now part of the root partition (/ == root)23:08
MrChrisDruifOw....you've also got a /boot and lots of other bits and pieces....but even I don't really care for those :P23:09
ATDPRHSI want both23:09
ATDPRHSUbuntu and win723:10
ATDPRHSWin7 is already installed23:10
ATDPRHSand i'm now confused23:10
ATDPRHSand I created the / (20 GB out of 30 GB)23:10
MrChrisDruifYes, and now you installing Ubuntu :)23:10
distort3dI have 2 different linux, both use the same swap :D23:10
MrChrisDruifdistort3d: Yeah, that's fine :)23:11
ATDPRHSand when I try to create one for home, it shows me that there is 30 GB available :S23:11
ATDPRHShaha23:11
ATDPRHSI'm tired of this...23:11
MrChrisDruifI've heard it's better to have a separate /data for you data when you want to use two Linux's with the same data access...23:12
MrChrisDruifI'm going to look into that, so don't hold me on it :P23:12
distort3dSwap is erased at boot right?23:13
distort3datleast i dont have any problems with any of them, 1 is rhel 6 the other ubuntu23:14
MrChrisDruifdistort3d: How do you mean?23:14
MrChrisDruif(I think at shutdown, but it's just room for program to write data which is going to be used....an extension for the RAM)23:15
ATDPRHSOK23:16
ATDPRHSI think23:16
ATDPRHSI cleaned my hard disk :-)23:16
ATDPRHSI lost everything23:16
ATDPRHSso It doesn't matter more23:16
distort3d2 different linux's both on seperated disc' only swap is shared. on another disc.23:17
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: I don't know :)23:17
ATDPRHSJust a final question23:17
ATDPRHSnow that I don't have anymore windows23:17
ATDPRHSDo I install Ubuntu23:17
ATDPRHSthen install windows?23:17
ATDPRHSor windows first?23:18
ATDPRHSto keep both?23:18
MrChrisDruifI would suggest Windows first, Ubuntu should be able to detect Windows and add it to grub...the other way around doesn't really work well :)23:18
ATDPRHSNow I remembered that I have 50 GB of files that I didnt back them up23:23
ATDPRHSNow I remembered that I have 50 GB of files that I didnt back them up:-)23:23
ATDPRHS:-)23:23
ATDPRHS*23:23
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: Don't feel desperate, try to boot a live CD and see how much you can salvage :)23:24
ATDPRHSWindows doesn't want to detect the hard disk even23:25
MrChrisDruifTry an Linux liveCD, better at detecting etc of hdd's23:26
ATDPRHSbasically23:26
ATDPRHSthrough linus23:26
ATDPRHSlinux23:26
ATDPRHSI create new partitions that should be NTFS, right?23:27
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: First try to mount the drive while in the liveCD and see if you can find any of the files you (think) you lost23:29
ATDPRHSokayz23:29
distort3dbest dual boot is 2 seperated disc, both with there own mbr.23:30
MrChrisDruifdistort3d: I've dual booted with Windows on the same disk (only an attempt of triple boot failed miserably :P)23:31
ATDPRHSthe driver that it should have the files23:32
MrChrisDruifThat's when I've completely moved to Ubuntu :D23:32
ATDPRHSis the one that has been lost23:32
ATDPRHSwindows does not want to boat, its still there23:32
kristian-aalborghurm, this is weird23:32
MrChrisDruifLike I said, you only thought it was lost :)23:32
kristian-aalborgI installed Tiny Core Linux by the book, and I can't see it in grub23:33
ATDPRHSIt doesn't matter anymore the windows23:33
MrChrisDruifProbably the MBR of Windows was lost/corrupted or something...23:33
ATDPRHSI want to repartition the hard disk23:33
ATDPRHSfor both windows and linux23:33
ATDPRHSso i install both after each other23:34
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: Why doesn't it matter anymore? Want to switch completely to Ubuntu? :P23:34
distort3dI have 1 disc with windows on it, but its just standing on the desktop doing nothing 320 GB Filesystem, System Reserved (i wonder what for still waiting)23:34
MrChrisDruifATDPRHS: First back up those files and your good to go :)23:34
ATDPRHSWindows is fully backed up23:35
MrChrisDruifAlright :)23:35
ATDPRHSHow do I delete the partitions?23:36
ATDPRHSthrough GParted23:36
ATDPRHSand create new ones for both windows and Linux23:36
ATDPRHSso that after then I install windows then Ubuntu directly23:36
MrChrisDruifYup :) (Just deleting them would do the trick I even think :)23:36
