[01:25] hello [01:26] Hello, thewrath ! [01:27] How are you JoseeAntonioR [01:27] Fine, thanks, what about you? [01:37] hi all [01:38] hello [01:47] whats up steve__? === arizona_bay is now known as Guest62610 [04:24] Hey - I'm having some overheating issues with my laptop; only with linux (ubuntu). It seems like my fan isn't spinning at all, how can I control it? === Guest62610 is now known as xx [04:35] !fan [04:35] fan is Control the fan on/off http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-12058.html [04:36] Nevermind, that's broken. :P [04:40] That URL doesn't load. [04:40] Tried it on both my systems, btw. [04:40] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737 would be better, but not sure they'd help. [04:40] Mine seems to be working in that area. [09:20] morning all [12:55] hi [12:59] Guest75506, Good mornin'. [14:43] preceeding question: can I specify how I want the partitions done? [14:44] raubvogel: 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" [14:50] holstein: all I want is to do disk alignment when creating the partitions [14:51] raubvogel: you can do literally anything you like.. im not sure what you mean by "alignment", but custom partitioning is no issue [14:53] holstein: so, something like this "mkfs.ext2 -L boot -b 4096 -Estride=32,stripe-width=224,discard /dev/sda1" would be doable? === sary_ is now known as sary [14:54] raubvogel: 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 idea [14:55] holstein: you just reminded me of a Futurama song [14:55] raubvogel: i typically just use gparted... or the alternate installer i suggested [14:55] holstein: good. How would I pass those arguments? [14:56] !info fstab [14:56] !fstab [14:56] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab is where i would look [14:57] though, 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 somewhere [14:57] maybe start with what your intention is generally, and see if anyone has a suggestion on how to achieve your goal [19:05] hi vinnie__ :p [19:05] how ya! your here too! good stuff! [19:06] I am in lots of channels [19:12] nothingspecial, Is everywhere. :) [19:14] :D [19:15] But is he everwhere you want to be? [19:17] Be all you can be - eat lots of fast food and drink sugary pop [19:18] not a long term solution [19:19] No, but its easier than joining the army .... [19:19] +1 [19:19] Hahaha ... :D [19:21] Actually, more risky though [19:21] +1 [19:21] Hehe [19:21] and you may end up in boot camp anyway [19:26] vinnie__: how so? [19:26] that fitness thing ex army people do I assume [19:26] Oh, yah - like fat camp [19:27] exactly all the rage in my neck of the woods! [19:27] Hmmm they have reality shows about that [19:28] see you's later.. === jalcine is now known as Jacky [21:33] hey can anybody pl help me in bringing back my ubuntu 12.04 back to default settings.i have installed a few softwares and now i want it to come to defalut settings like a fresh installation === steve__ is now known as steevB [23:59] Hello, Can someone help
