ubot2fan is Control the fan  on/off  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html04:35
Unit193Nevermind, that's broken. :P04:36
ApocalyptikzThat URL doesn't load.04:40
ApocalyptikzTried it on both my systems, btw.04:40
Unit193https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto  or   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 would be better, but not sure they'd help.04:40
Unit193Mine seems to be working in that area.04:40

raubvogelpreceeding question: can I specify how I want the partitions done?14:43
holsteinraubvogel: sure.. you can do literally anything you like.. i would get the alternate iso for that personally, but you can prepare the disk with whatever tool you are comfortable with, and install linux however you like, even "sub-optimally"14:44
raubvogelholstein: all I want is to do disk alignment when creating the partitions14:50
holsteinraubvogel: you can do literally anything you like.. im not sure what you mean by "alignment", but custom partitioning is no issue14:51
raubvogelholstein: so, something like this "mkfs.ext2 -L boot -b 4096 -Estride=32,stripe-width=224,discard /dev/sda1" would be doable?14:53
=== sary_ is now known as sary
holsteinraubvogel: without refering to manpages for mkfs.ext2 commands... as i said, *anything* is doable.. its all open, and you are free and encouraged to do what you like.. even if its a bad idea14:54
raubvogelholstein: you just reminded me of a Futurama song14:55
holsteinraubvogel: i typically just use gparted... or the alternate installer i suggested14:55
raubvogelholstein: good. How would I pass those arguments?14:55
holstein!info fstab14:56
holstein!fstab14:56
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab is where i would look14:56
holsteinthough, if i didnt know where to put those commands, i likely wouldnt use them.. if you found something do "copy and paste" in from a post somewhere14:57
holsteinmaybe start with what your intention is generally, and see if anyone has a suggestion on how to achieve your goal14:57
