[00:00] digitig, open dolphin, goto the folder, right-mouse > property's and then the [tab] share , this wil run samba [00:04] OerHerks: I've made a folder shared, but the Windows machine still doesn't see anything. I suspect it's because the user names are different; is there any way to give access to the Linux files whatever the Windows user names? I have multiple Windows computers in the house and the user names are not the same across them. [00:05] different workgroup maybe? [00:10] yofel: Well, the case was different. It shouldn't have mattered from the Windows end, but I've made it consistent anyway. Still can't see either machine from the other. [01:22] what would be wise size for a swap partition for kubuntu? [01:22] would 2gb be enough? [01:23] Snooffy, How much RAM do you have? [01:23] I guess when you want to use hibernation it should be at least the size of your ram right? [01:23] wildgoose: :D 4GB [01:23] so 4gb should be fine or it should be a bit more? [01:23] 4GBs should be plenty [01:24] No that should be more than enough [01:24] depends on what you do, if you only need 4G then you don't need swap. But if you want to hibernate you'll need as much swap as you have ram used when you hibernate [01:24] My system originally had a 1.5gig swap, with 1gig of RAM. It hung up occassionally, but now that my swap is 5.8gigs, I have no worries... [01:25] * yofel has 8GiB of RAM + 4GB swap - and a totally non-standard system :P [01:25] ok TY [01:28] the trouble is that before I left home 2day I've put the system to hibernation, I was in a bit hurry and it ended up with "not enough space 4 swap" or something and did not wanted to shut down. As I was in hurry I had to drastically hit the PWR button on the tower. What will happen when I will come back home and fire it up again? Will there be blood? [01:28] Snooffy: not too much. thanks to journaling file systems :) [01:32] I've force powered off my linux system several times, nothing too bad happens. It probably grumbles to itself, but never lets me know about it ;D [01:32] Linkmaster: lol [01:33] so it should be fine... as soon as I'll have some time I will change the Partition for swap to 6gb which should to the right job even for hibernation [01:48] got another one... in natty with vlc even there is "disable screensaver" ticked it still let the scrn saver to take over the screen. I had to disable the scrn saver to be able to watch the whole movie. I found a bug which was exactly like the problem I've got but that was a few releases back... ideas? [01:49] * szal has disabled screensaver and screen powersaving anyway [01:54] * Snooffy likes a nice sophisticated screensaver for discrete moments etc.. .:PP [01:57] Linkmaster: You can screw stuff up pretyt bad though :) [02:00] Daskreech: I know, I haven't done it while doing anything[such as updating a package] [02:00] * Linkmaster shudders at the thought [02:00] That you know of :) === ZandreBran is now known as ZandreBran_cya [03:30] guys, if i will change size of my "home" partition using hte partition manager in kde will i lose data? [03:30] and can i change swap partition when is the system actually running? [03:34] Snooffy: I suggest a backup, and if at all possible, use gparted or the like so that the system is not running. its usually....bad to partition drives that are in use [03:36] Linkmaster: will do than.. as for gparted can it change the part size not to lose the data? [03:37] If you are increasing it, you're fine, if you're shrinking it..I believe it notifies you when it cant' be shrunk anymore [03:38] and as for the swap partition, will linux automatically take care of it when i make the partition bigger when it'll be booting or i have to set it up somewhere else? [03:38] Linkmaster: cheers. [03:38] I'm not exactly sure [03:39] I don't usually mess with my partitions more then once, and when I do, I do a complete computer reinstall [03:41] Ok i will try it when i get home, there is nothing too important yet, just all the settings of kde and stuff, I've installed it just a few days back so there will be no harm if i would actually bugger it === sayakb_away is now known as sayakb === jenkins is now known as Guest47927 === erikja is now known as OZ4KK === svaksha_ is now known as svaksha [07:29] hello [07:29] I have a problem with remastersys and kubuntu!

[17:06] Hi, gigenieks. [17:06] Just to clarify - I have shrinked via Disc Management (in Win7) C: partion to leave Kubuntu 37GB of "unallocated space" read some posts in Ubuntu Forums and [17:07] I'm going now install Kubuntu 11.04 64bit [17:07] i need to choose "install alongside" it will pick that "unallocated space" right? [17:07] not manually [17:08] gigenieks: \o/ [17:08] Yes that should work [17:08] Meaning it wont suddenly think to divede my Windows 7 partion .. [17:09] instead take "unallocated space" [17:09] it shouldn't, but it will tell you what it's going to do before it actually does it [17:09] so just read carefully :) [17:09] ahh then good [17:09] will go install! [17:09] wish me luck :) [17:10] good lucK === evil is now known as _3vi1_testing1 [17:28] is there an easy way to hide a window that is also easy to unhide it? [17:28] I want to leave something open that I dont want my kids to get into if they get on my computer [17:32] Dragnslcr, lock the PC. [17:32] sorr [17:32] DarkriftX [17:32] I can lock it but others need to access it sometimes [17:32] That is no problem. [17:32] I just need some stuff to stay open and they always close my stuff [17:32] I know I can create them another profile, but thats too advanced for htem [17:32] you can have more than one user logged in at a time [17:32] You can lock you session and they can start their own session. [17:33] if I can just hide one window so it doesnt show on taskbar or as a window, that would be great [17:33] or even if it showed on a different desktop only [17:33] That is possible, DarkriftX. [17:33] You can set that in the Window-Options. [17:34] I am not trying to REALLY hide it, just make it less visible so they are less likely to close it when they are closing their own (its a chrome window) [17:34] they open chrome, browse the internet opening 10 more windows, then close them all. and the one I have left open gets closed [17:34] it annoys the hell out of me [17:34] put it on another "desktop" [17:35] I will try that, my taskbar currently shows all desktops windows so I will have to check the settings [17:35] DarkriftX, press Alt+F3, go to „Advanced → Special Window settings“. [17:35] On „Preferences“ select „skip taskbar: force“. [17:36] That's it. [17:36] oooh, I was able to change taskbar to show only current desktop and move it to desktop 2 [17:36] not sure why I only thought of that when I asked [17:37] DarkriftX :) [17:43] DarkriftX: Throw it into an activity and turn off the activity [17:44] 4 solutions to one problem ^_^ [17:44] lol [17:45] I just figured there might be a cli method to do it, but hte one I tried works [17:50] hi there.

[18:28] you have space allocated and would like to know how to proceed [18:28] have you ever used Linux before? [18:28] I would upload images too (1 image = 1000 words ) but dont know "mount thing" yet [18:29] I used Ubuntu a lil few years ago [18:29] just use guided with multi os [18:29] gigenieks: just use guided with multi os [18:30] What you mean? I'm confused [18:30] gigenieks: You can use Guided or Manual either will work. Which would you like to use [18:30] are there three options [18:30] gigenieks: If you choose guided it will have an option to use empty space [18:30] There is no guides there is only 2 options: [18:30] weired [18:30] see my post [18:30] nstead I have 2 choices: [18:30] Guided - use entire disk [18:30] Manual [18:31] I understand that I have to choose [18:31] "Manual" [18:31] BUT [18:31] try and re-install ubiquity and up date to see if that helps [18:31] which partion type should I use "primary" or "logical" [18:31] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubiquity [18:31] ? [18:31] bobweaver: It's a live CD :) [18:31] gigenieks: what happens when you click on Guided ? [18:31] ubiquity is the installer [18:32] it dont matter that it is live [18:32] as long as you have internet connection [18:32] It shows graphically that entire hard disk would be for Kubuntu (which I dont want) [18:32] I need dual-boot [18:32] I know just saying it's a pretty big fail if the live CD doesn't ship with a proper way to install :) [18:32] if there is only two options then ubiquity is messed up [18:32] thats why I have to go for "Manual" [18:32] gigenieks: ok let's do Manual then [18:32] yeah [18:33] but as In that post [18:33] Click on the empty space and make a logical partition [18:33] how much RAM do you have? [18:33] 1gb [18:33] I understand I need divede "unallocated space" [18:33] in / partion (kubuntu) [18:33] ok and you put aside 30+ GB? [18:33] and swap partion [18:34] yes [18:34] I shrinked Win7 partion [18:34] 37gb [18:34] just confused about choosing [18:34] primary or logical [18:34] make your kubuntu partition the root one [18:35] gigenieks: I can explain if you like but it's not that interesting [18:35] so it knows where to boot right ? [18:35] when I tried to do "manual" [18:35] i have option called: [18:35] Location for the new partion: [18:35] should I left it as it is [18:35] in beginning [18:35] wouldnt it mess up my Windows? [18:35] bootloader [18:35] or something [18:35] gigenieks: No [18:36] I hate to cut you all of again but -did you check the md5sum of the cd [18:36] For the partition the beginning is where the Windows one ends [18:36] or usb sorry [18:36] file [18:36] kubuntu md5sum [18:36] For the bootloader Linux Will overwrite Windows' bootloader but will add a menu entry so you can just select it at start up [18:36] bobweaver, yes I did (everything is FINE with Live CD!) [18:36] cool [18:36] just dont want mess someting [18:37] gigenieks: It's all fixable :) [18:37] weired that ubqiuty is acting like that [18:37] So I make both partions as "logical" (no need for primary?)
