[08:15] <ray_> I've never understood this. About 6 months ago I learned how to make launchers and set the image for the icon being used. What format should an image be for making an icon a little bigger or smaller for the icons being used?
[08:15] <ray_> I have Gimp but I am still learning. I just learned how to add transparency to the back ground of images
[08:16] <ray_> Of coarse there is no end to learning in life.
[08:17] <ray_> I found this little quote from a link but I don't understand it:
[08:17] <ray_> In the dialogue to resize the image is a chain link between the two entries. Click on it to "break" the chain, and now each dimension can be rescaled without affecting the other.
[08:18] <ray_> From here:

[08:19] <ray_> Wait a minute. I think I got it.
[08:20] <ray_> Wow, I didn't know this but there is a little chain like image between the right and left under image, scale image
[08:20] <ray_> Nice. Take care all
[08:25] <ray_> Well that didn't work. I mean although the image I wanted to make taller is taller. The icon is still the same size. It's so small. How do I make it bigger without having to change it by right clicking the launcher and choosing stretch icon.
[08:26] <ray_> I mean I want to make it so when I go to the image I am choosing as an icon so that it is the size I want by default
[08:27] <duanedesign> hello
[08:29] <duanedesign> ray_: you can make all your icons bigger
[08:29] <duanedesign> but it sounds like you only want 1 icon to be bigger?
[08:33] <ray_> yes
[10:02] <ray_> "/msg NickServ REGISTER password emailaddress" will this register my current nick?, I know replace password with the password I make up and use my email address.
[10:03] <ray_> I would think so. Am I right?
[10:04] <thirdnutz> Does anyone know how to get rid of the IP Address after  your username?
[10:04] <thirdnutz> I'd really appreciate any help.

[10:21] <ray_> Help, how do I register a nick here?

[10:55] <pombreda> howdy: is there a way to mount a tmpfs without being root?
[11:01] <geirha> If root adds an fstab entry to allow it.
[11:01] <geirha> none /dest/dir tmpfs size=10%,users 0 0
[11:02] <geirha> See ''man mount'' on what the user and users options do
[11:02] <pombreda> geirha: ok... so this must be planned ahead then :) and would a user be allowed to mount -rebind if alaredy mounted then?
[11:03] <geirha> -rebind?
[11:04] <pombreda> well --bind :P
[11:06] <mrb260478> hi help me on samba share
[11:07] <mrb260478> on samba share copy is twice slower than paste operation
[11:09] <mrb260478> samba copy is slower
[11:10] <mrb260478> or is it some tweak needed on linux kernel in sysctl
[11:13] <pombreda> geirha: thx :) --bind: only root can do that :) I guess symlinks can work ok :P
[13:01] <johnny77> what is update-apt-xapi?
[13:01] <Artir> johnny77, a bastard program that indexes packages so that you can use quick search in synaptic
[13:02] <Artir> johnny77, sometimes it tends to use quite a lot of CPU
[13:02] <johnny77> Artir: it was pulling about 50% of my CPU for a few minutes.
[13:03] <Bodsda> Artir: Please try and keep it family friendly in here buddy
[13:03] <Artir> Bodsda, sorry. Won't happen again.
[13:03] <Bodsda> appreciated
[13:04] <johnny77> I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something I had to worry about.
[13:04] <Artir> johnny77, don't wory. It isn't. If it really bugs you, you can just end the process.
[13:04] <johnny77> Artir: don't bother, just curious. Thank you.
[16:07] <johnny77> I think I'm having problems with my mouse. Is there some way to monitor mouse behavior?
